Gang Of Youths - ‘Poison Drum'

Gang Of Youths describe their musical style as ‘EMOTIONAL-ASS, 10-TRACK CONCEPT ROCK’. The caps are theirs - their entire Facebook page is written in them. The Sydney-based band have forged themselves an upfront, no-holds-barred image, and latest single ‘Poison Drum’ fits right into it. Bouncy drums, shaggy guitars and a fervent and fearless vocal performance are shaken up and poured over the ears like the best improvised cocktail you ever heard.

Earlier this year, the band were on the road supporting The Jezabels, before headlining their own Australian tour. They just announced that they’ll be supporting Foster The People for a series of Splendour sideshows, and their very own debut album should be ready for release by the end of the year. Gang Of Youths are most definitely a band to watch, and ‘Poison Drum’ will be shaking about in your head until they’re filling stadiums - and probably a while after that, too.
