The Young

The Young

The Young are an Austin indie rock group active since 2007. They are a four-piece band from Austin, United States, and their work sits within pop, psychedelic and acoustic-leaning indie rock.

Released work and sound

The Young first appear in 2010 with their Mexican Summer debut, Voyagers of Legend. That record is described as heavily saturated with psychedelic textures and thick guitar riffs, with comparisons to Comets on Fire, Hawkwind, Teenage Fanclub and Guided by Voices. Their later record follows a deal with Matador and presents a cleaner, brighter version of their sound, with psych-rock elements pushed further into the background and a stronger emphasis on songcraft.

Other artist with the same name

Another act called The Young is the songwriting and recording project of Alex Wells, formerly known as Rothko. In live performance it is supported by Joseph Everett, Sam Mcgarrigle, Steve Stonhold, Caitlin Stubbs, Eleanor Wells, Bella Spinks and others.
