The Young

The Young were conceived in 2005 by Austin, Texas vocalist/guitarist Hans Zimmerman. The band existed as Zimmerman's home recording project until about 2007 when it expanded into a more fully realized punk quartet with the addition of bassist Jason Costanzo, guitarist Kyle Edwards, and drummer Ryan Maloney. The Young's early output showed the band in a raw punky mode, with singles on the Criminal IQ and Super Secret labels as well as an appearance on Matador Records' 2010 compilation Casual Victim Pile. Their debut full-length came in the form of 2010's Voyagers of Legend on the Mexican Summer label, and represented a drastic stylistic change with more guitar-heavy, psychedelic-leaning rock songs. The album was met with almost across-the-board critical acclaim and the band toured and performed more and more to support it, sharing bills with contemporaries like Sic Alps, Kurt Vile, and Lower Dens. On the strength of their live shows and impeccable recordings, the Young signed to Matador for the release of their 2012 sophomore effort, Dub Egg. Costanzo stepped away from the band and was replaced by new bassist Lucas Wedow for the recording of 2014's Chrome Cactus. This third album from the group showed them in yet another stylistic change-up, leaning toward darker sentiments and far sharper musical expressions.
