Reptile Youth River That Run For A Sea That Is Gone

Reptile Youth is a post pop/punk duo from Denmark. The band was founded in 2009 by Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen and Esben Valløe. In 2010 the band received fame after doing the longest China Tour ever for a Danish band. In 2011 the band expanded with the drummer, Emil Vissing Christiensen, and build up an even bigger hype by playing their intense live show at big festivals and venues as the only band without an actual release: Iceland Airwaves, Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg, Germany), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Wavves Vienna (Austria), Sonic Visions (Luxemurg), Unit Tokyo (Japan), SPOT Festival and Roskilde Festival (Denmark). Welcome to Reptile Youth, the bastard sons of psychedelic Sixites Soul, Post Punk and Synth Pop, stirred into a lookbook-approved vodka cocktail of sweaty, high- energy post-modern pop. Smart, but not too clever that they won‘t make you seriously lose your shit watching them live, the band are worshipped by almost every show critic, or indeed gig-goer out there. In Tokyo, Robert Michael Poole (CNN), said: “Reptile Youth brought the Club to its boiling point. I have worked here for six years now and I know how restrained - reserved even - the Japanese audience can be. That‘s why it was particularly cool to see the effect Reptile Youth‘s show had on the audience that got pumped right from the beginning.‘‘ In 2012 the band transmogrifi ed into a new form, under the name of Reptile Youth. Expanding their stage presence with guitarist Mads Bergland and Emil Vissing on drums, the band continues to tour out of their Copenhagen headquarters - a city with a well known high-octane live band scene.
