Reptile Youth have without a single release gained great international recognition through their intense live shows. In 2011 the band played at venues and festivals like: Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Montreux Jazz Festival (CH), Wavves Vienna (AU), Sonic Visions (LUX), Unit Tokyo (JP), SPOT Festival (DK) and Roskilde Festival (DK).

In 2012 Reptile Youth’s very anticipated debut album will be released. The album has been produced in London with star producers Dave M. Allen & Mark Ralph. Dave M. Allen has earlier produced legendary bands as The Cure, Sisters of Mercy and Human League and Mark Ralph has produced Filthy Dukes, remixed Lady Gaga and is producing the coming Hot Chip album.

Contrary to their official bio, which claims they’re a duo from Denmark, Reptile Youth are actually the relocated souls of a thousand long-lost Brooklyn post-punk bands, cousins of the Rapture and Radio 4 who have been summoned back to this cold, dead earth for one last dance. Luckily, the funky, hook-laden Gang of Four worship, with some production from a guy who's worked with the Human League, Lady Gaga, and Hot Chip, sounds sincere enough to make these Danes pretty great.
