It’s been a colossal year for Sydney five-piece Gang Of Youths. The band released their sophomore album Go Farther In Lightness to critical acclaim, taking out a total of four 2017 ARIA Awards, including Best Group, Best Rock Album, Producer Of The Year and the prestigious Apple Music Album Of The Year, cementing their status as one of Australia’s leading rock bands. Now, the band sets their sights on the UK and North America.
.
Global DJ Zane Lowe recently spoke of Go Farther In Lightness – “absolutely blew my mind. I put it on, and I didn’t stop, the entire time. The honesty, the poetry, the power of the production. The music. This is rock n roll. This is real spirited music right here. If we have our way, this is going to be huge, not just here in Australia, but everywhere. My mind has been blown by that record… blown!“
Go Farther In Lightness was crowned Triple J listeners’ #1 album of 2017, with audiences commenting “It’s a masterpiece, everything about it speaks volumes of how music should be. This album will endure for many years to come” and “it’s some of the most exquisite songwriting to come out of Australia in recent years.”
.
Last week at the National Live Music Awards, Gang Of Youths were awarded the Live Act Of The Year in three different categories; National, People’s Choice and NSW. Frontman Dave Le’aupepe also took home the award for Live Voice Of The Year. They have just released a new video for single “The Heart Is A Muscle”, which was shot during their Australian sold-out tour and captures their renowned, award-winning live performances.
