Wasted Youth Club is a psychedelic garage-punk four-piece from Arnhem, Netherlands, made up of Sven van Vessem (vocals/guitar), Tim Habraken (guitar), Reinier Wiskerke (bass) and Jitze Miedema (drums). Their debut album CONSEQUENCES came out in November 2024, drawing comparisons to FIDLAR, Oh Sees and Wine Lips while sounding distinctly their own. Extensive touring across Europe and a South Africa run in September 2026 have built the band a growing live reputation.

The EP Shared Whining is released on 3 April 2026 via the French label Le Cèpe Records.
The single 'Lights Out' is released in January 2026, as the second preview after 'Bad Blood' (November 2025).
