After years of silence, Second Youth have returned with Only Child, a five-track EP that stands as the band’s most mature, raw and personal work so far. Born between Italy and the UK from two veterans of the hardcore & punk scenes, Second Youth have always embraced a straightforward approach: fast songs, strong melodies and pure energy. Yet with Only Child they go further. This is not just a continuation of where they left off, it’s a new chapter. The record speaks of loneliness, family trauma, failure and self-identity, without easy excuses or redemption. Each track carries the same anger as always, now filtered through a darker, more intimate tension that makes their sound even more powerful.

Only Child represents a comeback without nostalgia: it doesn’t aim to replicate the past, but to channel scars, clarity and an urgency that never faded. With Only Child, Second Youth prove that growing up doesn’t mean losing intensity, it means reshaping it into something sharper, more conscious, and undeniably authentic. The Only Child EP is now available through streaming platforms via Anchors Aweigh Records.
