Album Info

Release Date: 2008-06-30

Labels: Ivy League Records, World's Fair Label Group

2008 album from the Australian Pop Rockers. Built around the pure vocals of Toby Martin, the sound of Youth Group is reminiscent of Power Pop and Indie acts such as Matthew Sweet. However it is Martin's insightful and empathetic lyrics which distinguish Youth Group from comparable bands. Able to create vignettes based around the emotional dynamics of his characters, often female, Martin's lyrics are typically unsentimental but rarely unsympathetic. The Night Is Yours has been described as "fantastic - a huge step up for the band" and "just packed to the rafters with amazing things to discover". 10 tracks. Ivy League.
