FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

My Misspent Youth Unveil Bold New Chapter with Single “The Bigger Lie” – Out October 31st

Bergen, Norway – October 29, 2025 – Alternative rock veterans My Misspent Youth are back, proving that sometimes the most misspent youth leads to the most meaningful music. Their long-awaited new single, “The Bigger Lie” , drops October 31st via Indieco Records , marking a striking evolution in the band’s sound and lineup.

Rising from the ashes of earlier projects like Twigs, Paynbird, Spring Jester, and Side Effects, My Misspent Youth first made waves with their 2006 EP Six Point Eight and a track on the Bergen Rock City Vol. 2 sampler, which reached 10,000 listeners in China via October Party Records. Their 2012 album Colours Gone Cold cemented their status as a band unafraid of long creative pauses.

With “The Bigger Lie” , the band embraces a bold new direction. Founding member Finn Solemdal expands his role, handling both guitar and bass, while collaborating with session drummer and co-producer Iver Sandøy . For the first time, Bjørn Grung steps in as the band’s male lead vocalist, a dynamic shift after years of female-fronted releases. Solemdal and Grung share a deep musical history, having played together in the 90s band Loophead, bringing a seasoned chemistry to this fresh chapter.

Recorded at Solslottet Studio in Bergen, “The Bigger Lie” blends the band’s signature raw energy with melodic depth and a new vocal twist that’s impossible to ignore. Fans of Sugar, early Swervedriver, and The Cult will find plenty to sink their ears into.

“This track is about honesty, reckoning, and embracing who we are after years of finding our way,” says Solemdal. “Sometimes the lies we tell ourselves are bigger than we realize, and that’s exactly what we’re exploring here.”

The Bigger Lie is available everywhere October 31st , through Indieco Records.
