YOUBET SHARES NEW SINGLE “DENY” + 2025 TOUR DATES SUPPORTING THIS IS LORELEI AND FRIKO
HARDLY ART
youbet has shared a new single titled “Deny,” which is out today on all DSPs from Hardly Art.
Nick Llobet says of the single, “Normally, youbet songs start on the nylon string, but this time I was inspired to write on the electric guitar. While driving around last spring we listened to a ton of Polvo, Autolux, and Boris, just to name a few. ‘Deny’ was written last April after we got home from supporting Mary Timony on tour. I was inspired to create a song that captured the energy of that time. In this way, touring is such a great learning experience. Getting in front of new audiences last year helped us develop a new sound. We fed off of the energy. I would say this song is an experiment- trying to explore some new stylistic terrain. A lot of the new songs we’re writing live in this world – ‘Deny’ is a bridge.”
youbet have also scheduled new tour dates for 2025. The band is currently supporting This Is Lorelei’s January headline tour, which is in Washington, DC, tonight at DC9 and runs through Wednesday, January 22nd in Brooklyn, NY at Baby’s All Right. From Wednesday, April 30th through Thursday, May 22nd, the band will support Friko. Along the way, youbet will also appear at Chicago’s Tomorrow Never Knows Festival on Friday, January 17th, and Salt Lake City’s Kilby Court Block Party on Saturday, May 17th. Please find a complete list of dates below.
youbet is also supporting its 2024 release, Way To Be. The album and its singles have seen support from the likes of Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, PASTE’s “Best New Songs,” and Post Trash, with additional playlisting from the likes of Ones to Watch, Pitchfork “Selects,” The Alternative, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, and more.
youbet also spent much of 2024 on the road promoting Way To Be, supporting the likes of Mary Timony, Palehound, Ratboys, Sour Widows, Truth Club, Coco, June McDoom, and more.
