Effective period / Period of releases: 2014 - 2019

Members: Indiana Laub, Andy McCumber, Spencer Burnette-McGrath

Friend Of My Youth was formed near the end of 2013 with the group’s two original members, guitarist/singer Indiana Laub and drummer Andy McCumber, living in Santa Barbara, CA. After six months of playing together, a self-titled tape release, and a handful of shows, Laub moved to Corvallis, Oregon and FOMY went on a hiatus of sorts. The future of the band was just uncertain.

Fast forward two years. Despite almost 1000 miles separating Laub and McCumber, they were able to travel back and forth, play more gigs, and write new music in borrowed practice spaces. More years passed, and with the help of newfound bassist Spencer Burnette-McGrath, Friend Of My Youth persevered. Although McCumber still lives in California and Laub and McGrath reside in Oregon, they’ve at last finished recording their debut album entitled ‘Telling’.
