Deaf Club (US), Youff (BE)

Crunch Tapes & Positive Transmitter present: Deaf Club (US) + Youff (BE) @ Neue Zukunft, Berlin Sunday, 24 May 2026 Deaf Club return with their second LP We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness (Southern Lord / Three One G), a ferocious collision of noise, grind and hardcore driven by atonal guitars, relentless blast beats and a constant sense of anxiety. Fronted by Justin Pearson — cult figure known for projects such as The Locust, Retox, Dead Cross, Swing Kids and Head Wound City — the band, alongside Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment and Jason Klein, deliver their strongest songwriting to date: sharper hooks, explosive energy and pit-ready chaos while staying as weird and confrontational as ever. As Metal Sucks put it, “It’s like someone mixed Red Bull and Adderall and cocaine into your coffee… lawless, lethiferous hardcore.” Youff are a Belgian noise-hardcore band from Ghent, delivering raw, primitive and high-velocity sounds rooted in the underground scene. Featuring members of bands like 30,000 Monkies and Crowd of Chairs, their live shows are intense, physical and built to cause serious movement in the pit. Doors: 19:00 | Show: 20:00 Address: Alt-Stralau 68, 10245 Berlin
