Sauna Youth is a punk band hailing from London, UK. The group consists of Richard Phoenix (aka Boon) on drums and vocals, Lindsay Corstorphine (aka Pines) on lead guitar, Jen Calleja (aka Ecke) on sampler and vocals, and Christopher Murphy (aka Mince) on bass guitar.

With their energetic sound and raw lyrics, Sauna Youth has carved out a unique place in the punk music scene. Drawing inspiration from various genres including post-punk and garage rock, their music is characterized by fast-paced rhythms, catchy hooks, and an unapologetic attitude.

Known for their electrifying live performances, *Sauna Youth* has gained a dedicated following both in the UK and internationally. Their music resonates with fans who appreciate the rebellious spirit of punk while also embracing innovation and experimentation.

With second album 'Distractions', Sauna Youth showcase their ability to infuse a classic punk aesthetic with skilful artistry. Of course, they're not the first band to do this, but there's plenty of depth to the songs and Sauna Youth more than deserve to take their place among the current cerebral punk rock flag bearers. 'Distractions' is a triumph in every respect, from the frantic rush of the metaphorical moshpit that dresses up thrilling numbers like 'Modern Living' or the blisteringly brilliant 'The Bridge', right down to the quirky and ambiguous photography of the band on the sleeve, and through to the no holds barred production. You can smell the sweat from here. 'Dreamlands' places itself in a lineage which includes the Buzzcocks, Flipper, the Descendents, Wire and Thee Oh Sees.LP - Limited to 300 Copies on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl with Booklet.
