Turnout Records, 2011 Australians have always seemed to run a strange horse in the race of the hipster-driven aughts. Though arguably having a heavy hand in shaping and defining modern indie pop with acts like Architecture in Helsinki , most Aussie bands since then - whether by systematic design or their own disinterest and ineptitude - have failed to make any significant splash on our end of the Earth. Even local legend Nick Cave - boasting a revolving-door band of Bad Seeds that hail from so many different countries that Australia is often nothing more [...]
This cover makes me want to skateboard along the boardwalk, fly a kite at the beach, or just be flat out irresponsible. Oh, if only, we were forever young… And the only reason why I post this is because I just watched the series finale to Greek . Yeah, yeah. Judge me all you want, but it's my secret guilty pleasure.

Hello hello, it's Friday Friday and man o' man another fun weekend ahead! Lots of craftin' and artsin' and cyclin' and even a little road trippin' to Cincinnatin' for a photoshoot. This time, it's Baby's turn to get in front of the lens (tech speak, sorry) and amazing photographer and model Claudia's turn to shoot! Now, I'll be there, camera(s) in tow, to shoot the shoot (did I just blow yer mind???) as 1) I want [...]
"Shadowland" belongs to Youth Group's 2004 album Skeleton Jar. This song and music video popped into my head the other day, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. Hope you enjoy it! Shadowland.mp3
Yes, the news came out in October, same month Wolfmother called it quits last year.. Rocktober in Oz.... tough month! From YG: Thursday, October 22, 2009 Youth Group are going to have a break from being Youth Group. We are drawing a line through 2010, and plan to reconvene in 2011. The band has been our lives for the last five years. Pretty much from the release of Skeleton Jar, through the recording/release of Casino Twilight Dogs and The Night Is Ours, to the accompanying tours it has been our [...]
I was thinking about the unavoidable year-end-lists today (I'll give you the reason for that further down below), and I remembered that I wanted to check out what two of my former best-album-winners are up to right now. Well, whilst Youth Group have announced that they will take a year off in 2010 and return in 2011, The Shins have no real news whatsoever on a new album. Sad news from both parties, I think... at least, the [...]

Somebody should take bassist Patrick Matthews from Youth Group to Dirty Frank's before Wednesday night's show at The Basement! The Australian band has made a few trips to Columbus since their inception in 2004 and their gentle brand of indie-pop (falling somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie and Teenage Fanclub ) is always welcomed. The band's latest (their 3rd U.S. release since 2004), The Night is Ours , is filled with tales of love and heartbreak and if the kids were still making mix CDs [...]
Coming off the heels of a ferocious hardcore punk showcase at the Wonder Ballroom, I now found myself in the section of my night where I had to put my feet beyond the crossroads and make a choice about which bands came next. Throughout Fucked Up, I was getting nudged towards the Roseland and Portugal. The Man , so I caved and headed down to my old stomping grounds to find a band by the name of Nice & Sweet finishing up their set. I only heard about two minutes of their last song, so I won't [...]

As I came home from a long day of swimming with the extended family, the sun finally setting behind the trees this song came up on my iPod. I found it fitting since summer is fading and kids of all kinds are going back to school and it reminded me of being young and not wanting the summer to end. MP3: Youth Group - Forever Young Youth Group will be playing the Granada with emo royalty The Get Up [...]
Aussie rock act Youth Group have been on our radar since their 2006 breakthrough release Casino Twilight Dogs. They followed that up with one of our favourite records of the year so far, The Night Is Ours. We caught up with drummer Danny Lee Allen to talk about touring, Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) and cricket. Q1. You're in the middle of a massive US tour that started a couple of months ago. How does it feel to [...]
For the past month now, Youth Group's piano-and-guitar-playing frontman Toby Martin has been playing solo shows at New York's Living Room. He's been performing a variety of Youth Group songs as well as new songs he's written which may or not become Youth Group songs, so if you're any sort of Youth Group fan, you're in [...]
Youth Group's piano-and-guitar-playing frontman Toby Martin, fresh off his post-North American tour celebration, is back in New York for the month of July, playing solo shows every Wednesday night at the Living Room. He'll be performing a variety of Youth Group songs, Toby Martin songs, and covers, so if you're any sort of Youth Group [...]
Admittedly not much of a fan of his type of music, I feel compelled to at least acknowledge the passing of Michael Jackson and his immense contribution to music and dance. His personal demons notwithstanding, it was too soon an ending to a life that started with so much promise and a career with so much talent. Actually, it was kind of a sad week all around with the passings of Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. Americana losing icons is always difficult in the sense of saying goodbye to yet another part of one's adolescent past. The writers of [...]

Australia's Youth Group will barely have time to catch their breath after completing their 3 month North American tour and crossing the pond again to support the Get Up Kids on their 2009 Fall Reunion Tour. The tour will kick off on September 15 in Denver, after which the two groups (plus Boston trio Pretty & Nice as the first opener) travel through a variety of cities before finally finishing up together in Iowa City, IA.
