Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies (also known as YMSS or Youthmovies) are an English "prog-post-mathcore-rock-stuff" quartet, comprising of Andrew Mears (guitar and vocals), Al English (guitar, synths and samplers), Graeme Murray (drums), and Ham (bass).

Their earlier sound included blasts of cathartic noise mingled menacingly with brooding soundscapes, spoken-word samples and a sharp canopy of feedback, drone and nerve-chilling atmospherics, though with their full length album Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than The Last; The Inexorable March Of Progress Will Lead Us All To Happiness and the subsequent single "Ores" their sounds suggest they are moving into a more accessible post-rock sound.

The band has toured extensively with Hope of the States and 65daysofstatic and are about to embark on a tour with ¡Forward Russia!. They have also played at the Truck Festival, Latitude Festival, All Tomorrow's Parties, and the Reading and Leeds festivals.
