Biography

If one were to mix the Deftones, Mogwai, and a more metal-leaning Radiohead into an experimental, haunting, and somewhat hostile stew, something like the U.K.'s You Judas might bubble to the surface. Hailing from Derby, England, the post-rock quartet thrives on unpredictable loud/soft dynamics and is comprised of vocalist/guitarist Jay Dean (also of Fixit Kid), guitarist Jonny Hill, bassist Olly Toogood, and drummer Ryan Mawbey (who also lends his skills to the addition of various field recordings). The crew debuted in the fall of 2005 with the album Discover Mutiny, released via Fight Me Records, a label started a few years earlier by Dean and his Fixit Kid bandmates. The ensuing years found the guys focusing their attention even more on dark and heavy material, thus causing the music laid down for their next record, the dramatic and dynamic Happiness, to follow suit upon its early 2007 release.
