Young Knives Make New Material Available Online

April 28, 2010
Young Knives Make New Material Available OnlineYoung Knives have made a demo from recent recording sessions for their third album available online.

The song, entitled ‘I Love My Name’, is currently streaming on the band’s official website - or listen to it below now.

Young Knives said the track was “sort of a song about how a name is one of the only things that you really have all your life, everything else about you moves and changes”.

In a statement, they added: “Whilst writing this song we realised that it had a bit of an R'n'B vibe, so when we were demoing it we tried to enhance that sound.

"This is not the finished version and it may not even make it onto the album but we thought you would like to hear it.”

The band’s last album, ‘Superabundance’, was released in 2008.
