Youth Code erupts with ‘In Search of Tomorrow’

Get ready to crank the volume: Youth Code are back and they’re bringing the chaos. They’ve unleashed In Search of Tomorrow, the first taste of their long-awaited album  ‘Yours, With Malice,’ arriving May 16 on Sumerian Records. A new visualizer drops alongside the track—perfect for blasting on loop while you plot your next revolution.

These two California beat‑brutes haven’t let four years of silence slow them down. In fact, they’ve spent that time sharpening every detail—crafting riffs so precise they cut like a scalpel and layering in melodies that sneak up on you. Producer Sanford Parker’s mix gives the whole thing a seismic shove: the sub‑bass rattles your ribs, the snares crack like lightning, and the metallic hi‑hats leave sparks in their wake.

Sure, the duo tip their hat to ’90s greats—think Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Broken’ era, Ministry’s bone‑crunching classic ‘The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste,’ and pioneers like Front 242 and Cabaret Voltaire—but the core attack is unmistakably Youth Code. If their music is a warped carnival ride, the hooks on ‘Yours, With Malice’ are the cotton‑candy lure you can’t resist.

Sara Taylor even stretched her voice this time around, channeling Eartha Kitt’s gravelly charm to push her vocals into new territory. “I’ve always been insecure about singing,” she admits, “but if Eartha can do it with grit and grace, so can I.”

They’ve earned this moment. Since 2012, Ryan George and Sara Taylor have turned a self‑released demo cassette into full‑blown headlining tours—from sweaty underground clubs to arena stages with Nine Inch Nails. Now, after decades of blood, sweat, and synths, ‘Yours, With Malice’ is their crowning achievement.
