YOUNG THE GIANT RELEASES NEW SINGLE “BITTER FRUIT” OFF UPCOMING ALBUM | 2026 VICTORY GARDEN TOUR KICKING OFF MAY 24

FEARLESS RECORDS

Multi-platinum band Young the Giant released their new single, “Bitter Fruit” — listen below or HERE. Produced by Brendan O’Brien (AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) and Young the Giant, and written by the band collectively, the anthemic song captures a yearning to reconnect with the wonder of youth — to feel alive, fall in love, and embrace life fully. An official music video for the track featuring never-before-seen studio footage is also out now — watch HERE.

Speaking on the new single, the band shared, “Bitter Fruit is a song about the struggle of being calloused by adulthood with a yearning to see the world fresh, through the eyes of a child: To feel alive and present with wonder and awe. When we wrote the line, ‘I wanna laugh and cry just like a child again,’ our engineer’s kids walked into the studio at that exact moment. It felt strangely fated.”

The release follows the band’s recent single “Different Kind Of Love,” which debuted as the #1 most-added track at Alternative Radio and #5 at Triple A in its first week — listen HERE. The track continues to climb at Alternative Radio, currently sitting in the Top 10. Both singles will appear on Young the Giant’s forthcoming sixth studio album Victory Garden, arriving May 1 — pre-order HERE. The project marks the band’s first full-length release since 2022’s American Bollywood.

Last month, Young the Giant announced their forthcoming Victory Garden Tour, kicking off May 24 and running through August 9 across North America. The run of arena and amphitheater shows will feature support from Cold War Kids, almost monday, and KennyHoopla, with Cold War Kids also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Robbers & Cowards. Tickets are available at YoungTheGiant.com/Tour.

About Young the Giant

Young the Giant’s Victory Garden is an ode to radical empathy.

Over the past fifteen years, the multi-platinum Southern California band has flourished through distinct sonic eras, progressively solidifying itself as one of the most consistent and influential rock bands of the 21st century. On their sixth full-length album and Fearless Records debut, Victory Garden, Young the Giant reconnects with the core experience of 100% band collaboration, writing and recording together as a unit in one room. Written largely during writing retreats in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree and produced by Brendan O’Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) at Henson Studios in Hollywood, Victory Garden is a cohesive album experience that both inspires and enthralls. Lyrically, the album is rooted in radical empathy, capturing the band’s songwriting instincts at its most immediate and heartfelt. Musically, Victory Garden showcases the seasoned artists’ collective performances at their intuitive height.  The result is a prolific record that beckons a new season of creative fertility for the band and presents Young the Giant as confident, refined, and fully inhabiting its voice.
