Gang of Youths are a five-year-old Australian rock band.
They've been gathering steam reasonably quickly; in 2015 they released The Positions, which contained two pretty huge singles, one of which has become one of my favourite songs:
The song is about lead singer David Le'aupepe's attempted suicide and was written whilst he was supporting his (late) ex-wife through terminal cancer; he was 24 when she passed away.
Oh, and last year they covered All My Friends, and this should be all you need to convince you of this band's talents. They did it justice, which is near-fucking impossible to do.
Three weeks ago they released their sophomore effort, Go Farther in Lightness, which is fucking fantastic, and remarkably, has barely any flat spots, despite its 77-minute runtime.
Tonight, I saw them live.
Tonight, I witnessed a revolution.
I'm still struggling to point into words how phenomenal the gig was; I'll post a link later this week that sums up my thoughts more accurately. But my main point is this: get on to Gang of Youths now, because in a few years time they are going to be one of the biggest bands in the world.
Go Farther in Lightness is on Spotify, look it up.
Thank me later.
