Gang Of Youths

Gang of Youths are an Australian alternative rock band from Sydney, now based in London, that formed in 2011. The group consists of David Le'aupepe, Max Dunn, Jung Kim, Donnie Borzestowski and Tom Hobden.

The band's debut studio album, The Positions (2015), received multiple ARIA Award nominations and peaked at number five on the Australian Albums Chart. It spawned certified platinum single "Magnolia", which has been described as their breakthrough hit. In 2017, they released their second album, Go Farther in Lightness, which was preceded by their first Australian top 50 single "Let Me Down Easy". The album debuted at number one in Australia and was nominated for eight awards at the 2017 ARIA Music Awards, winning four – Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, and Producer of the Year. In the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2017, the album held a three positions in the top 10, a feat only achieved twice before. The band's 2018 concert tour supporting the album, the Say Yes to Life Tour, broke several records in Australia.

Their third studio album, Angel in Realtime, was released in 2022 and debuted at number one in Australia and number 10 on the UK Albums Chart. Nominated in three categories at the 2022 ARIA Awards, it won Australian Album of the Year at the 2022 J Awards and was preceded by their comeback single, "The Angel of 8th Ave.", which became their second Australian top 50 single. The album's accompanying EP, Immolation Tape, followed in May 2022 featuring acoustic renditions of the album.
