In 2006, the three members of Young Widows emerged from the dissolution of beloved Louisville hardcore band, Breather Resist, with a new vision steeped in dark, brooding grooves and moody post-punk. From the reverb-drenched inspiration of post-hardcore pioneers like Fugazi and Hoover to the bass and drums lock-groove perfected by The Jesus Lizard and Melvins, Young Widows proudly wore their influences on their sleeves. The inventive guitar work of vocalist/guitarist Evan Patterson (Black Cross, The National Acrobat) was just entering its peak, while the rhythm section of Nick Thieneman and original drummer Geoff Paton laid down impenetrable grooves.
In 2026 we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Young Widows’ enduring debut with Settle Down City – Anniversary Edition. Remastered by James Plotkin (Khanate, Sunn O)))) and repackaged from the original restored artwork, Settle Down City – Anniversary Edition includes a previously unreleased bonus track – the dense and intense “White Water,” originally recorded during the Settle Down City sessions. This is the definitive edition of the album that began Young Widows’ two-decade journey to becoming one of the most interesting and influential noise-rock bands of the 21st Century.
