Young Heretics

Overview

There are loads of bands popping up on the DIY indie-music scene who can be described as 'young heretics', but there's only one band, who hail from Melbourne’s DIY indie-scene, that you can actually call Young Heretics. The dramatic pop duo are Kitty Hart (she brings the drama) and Matthew Wright (he works on the pop), and although some might label them 'emo', their epic rants and brooding melodies are no different to a Kate Bush classic — and everyone loves those.

Hart and Wright live up to their title (somewhat an affirmation) and are traipsing around the country to launch their self-produced and self-released LP, We Are the Lost Loves, which caused a kerfuffle when it was released as a free download for the first month. The album that caused a stir in the industry will cause a stir in your soul with its emotionally charged and a-little-bit eerie lyrics (take 'Bones of a Rabbit' for example: "I deceived the lonely/And in the dark I've grown/I now clench the fists of hands/To limbs that aren’t my own") but their powerful melodies will have you singing along as if you were Kate Bush — and nothing will make you stop.
