Young And Restless

Young And Restless is more proof that Australia is so hot right now… so ripe. Y&R delivers some perfect post-hardcore, dance punk… sounding something like when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were still good. You know, when Karen O wasn’t afraid to rock. Of course, with five players instead of three, Y&R has a much fuller sound than the YYYs.

I guarantee you’ll want them in your next party mix… that is if you like to play it hard. Young And Restless has given me new faith that rock and roll isn’t dead.

Betting the farm: Young And Restless is going to be huge. Or they should be huge. There’s no way it can be avoided… Their sound is nailed. And with Chris Colonna of Bumblebeez81 producing and James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco mixing, you won’t be able to resist.

Quote on “Satan” from their Myspace: “this song blows our minds…it’s dancey, then it’s metal, then it’s brutal hardcore breakdown, then it’s dancey…but it works!”
