Youth Group

Youth Group is an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia, known for their atmospheric sound and introspective lyrics. Formed in the late 1990s, the band gained prominence in the early 2000s with their critically acclaimed albums Skeleton Jar (2004) and Casino Twilight Dogs (2006). Their cover of Alphaville's "Forever Young" became a surprise hit in Australia, topping the charts and earning them widespread recognition. The group's melodic style and earnest songwriting helped them build a dedicated following both at home and abroad.

Led by vocalist and guitarist Toby Martin, Youth Group has supported acts like Death Cab for Cutie and Coldplay on tour, further expanding their fan base. Over the years, their music has evolved while retaining the emotional core that first endeared them to listeners. After a hiatus, they returned with new material in the late 2010s and continue to be a respected presence in the Australian indie music scene.
