Old Empire presents YOUTH CODE plus supports KING YOSEF & STREET SECTS live Downstairs at The Dome

The group began in 2012 as a project between partners George and Taylor, inspired by the classic sounds of New Order, Depeche Mode and the hardcore punk that soundtracked so much of their youth. What emerged was a demo cassette that led to a 7” release on Angry Love, the first band unrelated to the legendary Psychic TV to be released on that  label. A self-titled album followed, then 2014’s A Place to Stand EP, and 2016’s Commitment to Complications LP, all while touring with a diverse groups like Chelsea Wolfe, HEALTH, Skinny Puppy, and more, in addition to arena shows with My Chemical Romance and main stage appearances with Nine Inch Nails. Heaps of press accolades followed before the pandemic hit, and in 2025, the band returned with their magnum opus. 

Youth Code have spent those years of self-reflection stewing in a simmering cauldron of bile and vitriol, as 'Yours, With Malice' is clearly their most intricate,  well-crafted and blood-thirsty release to date.
