Hidden Herd Presents: YOUTH SECTOR

Hailing from Brighton, art-rock quintet Youth Sector expertly balance astute political observations with irresistible indie romps. Inspired by art-school greats such as DEVO and Talking Heads, their music is a coiled spring of urgency and unpredictable energy, offering a sense of catharsis amid the confusion of modern adult life. Following a series of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album, ‘Pop Couture’, arrived in 2025 via Dance To The Radio, transforming weighty subject matter into exhilarating and undeniably infectious guitar music. The band have built a formidable live reputation, with their blistering energy matched by an undeniable sense of swagger, described by DIY Magazine as having “swagger to match bands ten times their size”. They’ve toured with Kaiser Chiefs and shared stages with Darwin Deez, Goat Girl, Our Girl, Walt Disco and The Pale White, alongside festival appearances at SXSW, The Great Escape, Left of the Dial and beyond. Youth Sector have also received widespread critical support from Dork, So Young Magazine and The Line of Best Fit, alongside airplay from Jack Saunders and Abbie McCarthy on BBC Radio 1, Elton John on Apple Music and Tom Robinson and Emily Pilbeam on BBC Radio 6 Music. + Arcadia Residential + Lifeloose + Two Man Lift
