Essential Albums
- There’s a strong current coursing through Gang of Youths’ second album. It’s a document of transformation told through a steady rush of epic rock. “Fear and Trembling” kicks off with the crashing power of the E Street Band. And like a young Boss, vocalist Dave Le’aupepe searches for spiritual and philosophical truths buried in the past. “The Heart Is a Muscle” reveals hard-earned truths. “Our Time Is Short” and “Say Yes to Life” are emotional rearview-mirror reflections. If Gang of Youths’ goal was to inspire others to search for their own patch of peace, they’ve succeeded.

About Gang of Youths
Tackling heart-wrenching subject matter head-on, singer/guitarist David Le’aupepe formed Gang of Youths in Sydney in 2011 to process extreme difficulties in his personal life. The band’s 2015 debut album, The Positions, did just that, laying bare the frontman’s painful divorce and mental health struggles against hard-charging indie rock topped with his tumultuous baritone. Rather than dwell in darkness, though, Gang of Youths’ anthems spin true stories of trauma into triumphant badges of survival and even hopefulness. Witness the empowering, Springsteen-worthy pulse driving “Let Me Down Easy”, from 2017’s Go Farther in Lightness. After winning four ARIA Awards for that record, the band became the inaugural performers on the Australian edition of MTV Unplugged in 2018. Religious faith has remained another key lyrical theme for Gang of Youths, deeply informing 2022’s angel in realtime. alongside its main inspiration, Le’aupepe’s late father.
