Lynks has released an incredibly entertaining and clever new single, USE IT OR LOSE IT.

Reflecting on how the song came to be following their 25th birthday last year and the apparent notion that it’s the ‘scientifically most attractive year of your life’, the electro-punk shares that: “I found this out and was like, ‘Damn, this is as good as I’m gonna get?’ I suddenly had this prang of, like, if I’m not fucking 24/7 I’m somehow wasting my youth. Letting it slip away. And then you end up making really bad choices.

“Plus being gay on top of that… The gay world is obsessed with youth,” Lynks continues. “Which isn’t surprising – there just isn’t a blueprint of what growing old as a gay man looks like. Like, any film with a gay man over 40 seems to end with them either trapped in a sad, loveless marriage to a woman or dead.

“So yeah: dry patches, sex parties and twink death. Everything you could want from a big summer banger if you ask me!”
