Bionic Buzz® interview guitarist/vocalist Tyler Zanon from emo / pop-punk band Youth Fountain. He will be releasing their 3rd studio album, Together In Lonesome, on November 3rd (Pure Noise Records). They recently debuted the lead single, “Fallen Short”, which you can check out above.
Since forming Youth Fountain in 2017, the Vancouver BC-based Zanon has been a prolific writer, ascending on the shoulders of a cutting, introspective sound Kerrang hailed as “so raw and young that one can’t help but wonder if [Youth Fountain] were peers of Taking Back Sunday and Saves The Day back in the early 2000s.”
Together with producer / co-writer Anton DeLost (Silverstein, Mayday Parade, Like Pacific), Zanon revisited old notebooks and hard drives from the band’s early days and worked to transform those ideas into Together In Lonesome standouts – like the skate-punk pit-starting “Clarity,” angular “A Few Notes For Orpheus” and skyscraping “Twin Flame” – while crafting songs like “Identical Days” and first single “Fallen Short,” the anthemic encapsulation of Youth Fountain’s unbridled, nostalgic blend of emo, pop-punk, and alternative rock, from the ground up.
Overall it’s an album about loss and going through the motions, while feeling like you’ll never be good enough for anyone. Zanon describes it as a “dark love story”, and hopes that fans will be able to find comfort and solace within its tracks.
Youth Fountain will be on the road this fall with Story Of The Year, who are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album Page Avenue. The tour kicks off on October 26th and continues into early 2024, with stops in Dallas, Anaheim, Las Vegas, Portland, Minneapolis, Detroit, Toronto, New York, Chicago, and more.
