Young the Giant is an American rock band that has been creating melodic, alternative rock music with a pop sensibility since the late 2000s. Initially formed in Irvine, California, in 2004, the band began under the name The Jakes, but by 2010, they had solidified their lineup and adopted the name Young the Giant. The group consists of Sameer Gadhia (vocals), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass), and Francois Comtois (drums). Their eponymous debut album, "Young the Giant," released in 2010, was a success thanks to the standout singles "My Body" and "Cough Syrup," both achieving significant airplay and setting the stage for the band's rise to popularity.

Over the years, Young the Giant has continued to build their discography with notable sincerity and consistent craftsmanship. Their subsequent albums, including "Mind Over Matter" (2014) and the politically charged "Home of the Strange" (2016), have further established their reputation for insightful lyrics and a distinctive fusion of indie rock and pop elements. Their fourth studio album, "Mirror Master," released in 2018, continues this tradition with introspective themes and anthemic choruses. Known for their dynamic live performances, "Young the Giant - Live Across America ‘23" encapsulates the vibrant energy the band brings to the stage, reaffirming their status as one of the compelling live acts in the contemporary rock scene.
