Timothy and Eryn Young and the extended Youngs family.
THE YOUNGS: Hand Up, Head Down
If the Captain and Tennille were into dark progressive space rock, they might have really lit the world on fire. Thirty years later the Youngs have emerged to fill the void. Their catchy, well-crafted songs will make us all shed a tear for love and death, in true heavy mellow style.
THE YOUNGS: Self Titled
A few ecstatic blips on the EKG are now being detected under the heavy armour of music's dying potentials and creeping cynicism. The advent of the Youngs' Mimicry debut attests to it.

Fucking Epic! Beatles on steroids. You guys are doing some very interesting stuff musically, and you should be excited. It's 7:00 on sunday morning and I'm excited. Just awesome!
Over the Wall is so beautiful. Its perfect. It's officially my new favorite Youngs song and thank you for posting it. The melody, the harmonies, the ghost instruments at the end...amazing. <3 <3 <3
"Letting the Pressure Out" is a great tune! I love when the band comes in. Great arrangement. A little dark, but very much pop music. Awesome. I hope you all are well and that you enjoy the new music posted on my page. Take care.
You are an amazing band. Blown away at the show in LBC. Need More SHOWS! You inspire me to greater heights... The whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts. An unlikely yet inspired blend.
