Friends of Our Youth Share Problem Is Single

This Manchester outfit is rolling back the years, hitting a brand of pop rock that maybe recalls the indie scene of the late 00s. That said, Friends of Our Youth are pulling off the style with bravado and sincerity that made this the perfect tune to crank up early in the morning, particularly as the sun’s peeking out for the first time in a few days. I hear elements of acts that we love, like Mystery Jets, taking sort of a garage rock sound and softening it up a bit to deliver the hooks; I mean, the way the chorus shuffles then unloads melody is absolutely splendid. Perfect way to kick off a Wednesday.
