Gang of Youths

Overview

Feeling an urge to witness some rollicking rock 'n' roll? Sydney dudes Gang of Youths will sort you out.

Earmarked with that buzzed-up title of 'ones to watch' last year when they formed, Gang of Youths have since played a sizeable bunch of headline shows, tangled amongst support gigs for the likes of The Jezabels, Frightened Rabbit, Vampire Weekend and most recently Foster the People.

The ferocious five-piece are back this month with a few more dates up their sleeves for the riff-starved, showing off their latest single, 'Poison Drum'. In the accompanying music video, Gang of Youths power through the colourful streets (and supermarket aisles) of LA armed with their instruments and some succulent-looking noodles.

Did we mention they're yet to release their debut album? Fear not, Gang members. Recorded with Kevin McMahon (The Walkmen, Real Estate, Titus Andronicus), the group's first LP is in its final stages and due for release sometime this year.
