歷史
Youth Group曾在家鄉替The Strokes、Franz Ferdinand暖場,也發行過數張單曲EP,已是頗有知名度的樂隊。
直到2005年終於被Epitaph看中,於北美發行了專輯Skeleton Jar。
Youth Group辛苦掙扎的七年時光里,Toby Martin拿到了博士學位,隨後他繼續共讀著Ph.D. in History。
如不是新專輯發行使他暫緩了學業,他可能成為搖滾史上少數擁有博士學位的主唱之一。 因此不論Youth Group的音樂或Toby Martin的聲音都有種獨特的清新氣質,有時帶點不染塵埃的調調,但大多時候散發著輕鬆的苦澀。
1998年樂隊成立後Toby Martin分別經歷了父親過世、失業、被女友拋棄、團員糾紛這些慘事,可對於他來說,最痛苦的階段往往能創作出最深刻的作品,Youth Group專輯裡那些恬淡悲傷的歌就是這么來的。
Youth Group常被拿來於Death Cab For Cutie比較,團員則喜歡Jesus and Mary Chain的音樂。
雖然與一些Indie Pop樂隊相檔,Youth Group仍缺乏一擊必殺的辨認度,總給人開著拼裝車的感覺;但對於新進樂隊來說我們必須友善地降低門坎,畢竟能把拼裝車開好,也是所有駕駛必須學會的第一件事。
