Youth Code is an American EBM duo from Los Angeles, formed in 2012 by Sara Taylor and Ryan George. Their sound draws a direct line from classic Wax Trax!-era industrial to hardcore punk, pairing punishing electronic beats with aggressive vocals and melodic synth work. After two albums on Dais Records - a self-titled debut (2013) and Commitment to Complications (2016) - they signed to Sumerian Records and released the EP Yours, With Malice in 2025, produced by Sanford Parker. They have toured as support for Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy and My Chemical Romance, among others.
Youth Code announced the 'Industrial Worship Tour' together with King Yosef and Street Sects, with shows across the US from August to September 2025.
The EP Yours, With Malice was released on May 16, 2025 via Sumerian Records - the duo's first new music in four years.
Youth Code signed with Sumerian Records and released the first single 'No Consequence' as a preview of the new EP.
Youth Code was announced as support for Korn's first full European tour in more than ten years, with shows in October and November 2026.
Youth Code performed at the Grauzone Festival 2026 in The Hague.
