about
Youth Novel is an emotive hardcore band from Ann Arbor, Michigan formed in 2012 at the University of Michigan. The band featured shifting members throughout its tenure, some of whom didn't play at live shows but played on recorded material and vice-versa. The group played a few shows (see below) in the Michigan area before going on hiatus in 2016 after the majority of the members graduated and dispersed throughout the country. The band was known for their energetic, confrontational, and at times menacing live performances which could include physical contact with crowd members and equipment. During the Covid-19 quarantine, members resurrected and completed a previously abandoned full-length record, which was released on Valentines Day of 2021 on Zegema Beach Records. In 2025, Youth Novel returned once again with their single "Made in Heaven." Their second full-length album, "I Went Through This Experience Smiling" drops later this year. Members of Youth Novel went on to form Heavenly Blue. Members of Youth Novel have also played in Blue Noise, TheCheeseburgerPicnic, Vampires!!, Goodthink, (The Heart She) Holler, Girl Genes, Bonzo, Homestead, Odessa Girls, Mikiri Counter, The Mint, Megan Goes to Oregon, Serpent Column, Pipe Dreams, Heavy Sigh, Gwyneth, Lein. -------releases------- 2013: "Demos" (pressed 25 to 5" lathe records by Driftwood Records) 2014: "Turned Around Abruptly Beside a Mirror and Jumped At My Own Reflection" (Skeletal Lightning Records [US], Zegema Be
