We have said it before, and it bears repeating… Sometimes it only takes hearing a song one time and … You are hooked . This is definitely the case with , “Young Men”, from D. Cullen.

Young Men” is a song that deals with the rising issue of toxic masculinity in our society. 

From my earliest days in an all-boys school in Dublin, I’ve never really felt at home in heavily masculine/laddy circles. I’ve always felt like an outsider in those circles. Increasingly, in the wake of the last few years where movements like “the Manosphere”  and figures such as Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan have taken more of a hold on the culture, I’ve become more and more concerned and distressed with how unpleasant certain men’s behaviour can be. At the same time, there’s a growing sense that a lot of men are using these behaviours to hide behind while they deal with some seriously heavy struggles. This song tries to address both issues, by both prodding at some of the more distasteful elements of “lad culture” and also shining a light on the vulnerability behind a lot of that bravado. Although the song was written well before this came out, the show “Adolescence” floored me when I watched it recently, as it captured that dichotomy perfectly. I hope this song can capture some of that current cultural tension in the same way.”

Having previously released his debut album ‘Sing My Story, Tell My Song’ followed by the EP ‘Tiny‘ he now announces a new chapter for 2025. with the release of new single ‘Young Men‘ and forthcoming new album “City Soundscapes” which will be released on Sept 19th.

“Young Men” has an authentic and honest vibe that really makes the song stand out .

D. has had his music featured on BBC Scotland, RTE Radio One, Today FM, and twice performed on Ireland’s largest TV chat show The Late Late Show. He has supported such artists as Mundy, Eddi Reader, Brian Kennedy, Bry, and many many more!
