Hiraeth... Cometh...


Years Young are a band far from the youth stereotype, featuring experienced musicians with a mature sound.

Heading down to O’Rileys tonight in hull was well worth the trip, all be it they still haven’t paid their heating bill they have managed to put on bigger and better events. Tonight is a free gig, showcasing Wakefield band, Euphoria Audio, however, the show was stolen by new Scunthorpe band, Years Young. Including an unscripted encore from the demanding crowd.


Playing some select shows in promotion for their debut EP, Hiraeth (released in January 2016) the band are already gaining a dedicated fan base. Singles, Miracles and Sleeping Easy are instant hits with thousands of views online. The singles are part of the EP, not only does it sound great but also looks great and is a must to pick up in physical form. “The artwork was originally inspired by the name, the name is the Welsh word for home and we feel the EP represents the start of the band the birth place”. Visually “it was created by this very talented artist from Germany, who has some amazing art online”. It seems as though the EP doesn’t stop there for this quintet, “we have already wrote and album and maybe more!” As they explain they wanted to hit the ground running and not leave time between releases as we do live in a digital age. I for one cannot wait for the future releases, as Hiraeth showcases the bands talent at writing stadium friendly songs.


Although in the foetal stages of formation the band are thinking big, “it would be nice to play stadiums but we just want to get out there and play to lots of people and have the people sing back your songs”. Even at tonight’s out of town show the band already have the audience answering their wishes by a mass singalong to Sleeping Easy. “We are very fortunate to have a big support team behind us from family, friends and people that support us in what we are doing”.

Their live sound is a good reflection to their EP, energetic, charismatic and one not to be missed. Hiraeth... Cometh... and you best be ready.
