The band have developed a burgeoning reputation for engaging and raucous live performances which have earned them coveted support slots with heavyweight compatriots; We Were Promised Jetpacks, Fatherson, and There Will Be Fireworks. As well as sharing stages with fellow upstarts; Foreignfox, and Mt. Doubt
Line Up
The Youth and Young are an 8-piece noisy folk rock band hailing from Edinburgh/Fife in Scotland. In 2016 we released our debut album, Gestures, which received critical acclaim from Jim Gellatly on Amazing Radio and Janice Forsyth on BBC Scotland who named our single, Little Sky her single of the week towards the end of the year.
In the past we have performed at Belladrum festival, XpoNorth and Butefest and enjoyed supporting We Were Promised Jetpacks on their mini Scottish tour last year. Having spent the winter in the studio, we plan to release our new single Lantern in the upcoming months with a UK tour in tow.
"Taking the energy of Celtic rock and marrying it to the exuberance of modern Scottish indie-folk, Gestures – the debut album from Edinburgh’s The Youth And Young – proves that past comparisons to Arcade Fire aren’t all that far off the mark." - Alan Morrison, The National newspaper.
