Synopsis

Rocket From The Crypt perform "Young Livers" in a frenetic, performance-led video that matches the song's abrasive punk energy and brassy rock-and-roll attack. Rapid editing, close-ups, exaggerated gestures, and the band's distinctive coordinated image keep the focus on momentum rather than a conventional narrative. The clip presents the group as a swaggering, unruly unit, emphasizing their live reputation and irreverent personality while the chorus turns the phrase "young livers" into a defiant rallying cry.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Young Livers" was released as the second single from the 1995 album *Scream, Dracula, Scream!*. The single appeared in the UK in 1996 on Elemental Records.
  • The single reached No. 67 on the UK Singles Chart, placing it just below the band's previous single, "Born in '69," which peaked at No. 68.
  • The video was one of three clips made for *Scream, Dracula, Scream!*, alongside "Born in '69" and "On a Rope."
  • The video received airplay on both MTV and MTV Europe during Rocket From The Crypt's mid-1990s breakthrough period.
  • The recording features the band's expanded six-piece lineup, including saxophone and trumpet. Those horns were a key part of Rocket From The Crypt's sound and helped separate the group from more conventional punk acts of the period.
  • *Scream, Dracula, Scream!* was the band's first album for Interscope Records. Its production expanded the group's palette with a bigger, more elaborate sound while retaining its punk urgency.
  • "Young Livers" was co-written by the full band lineup credited on the album: John Reis, Jason Crane, Paul O'Beirne, Peter Reichert, Andy Stamets, and Adam Willard.
