"We've seen the future of indie pop. and it looks a lot like whenyoung" Dork
"Bold and beautiful, we genuinely can't get enough." Wonderland
"They ooze pop brilliance at every turn." NME
"The Irish trio has been shaking the UK rock scene with their gutsy sound that really hits your emotional pressure points to the bone." Aupium
Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP, Given Up, whenyoung are back with an epic new single, "Never Let Go," released through Virgin EMI.
A massive slab of imaginative guitar-pop, the single finds the band expanding their sound. Produced by Al O'Connell (The Big Pink, Superfood), the slow burning track features layers of chiming guitar and vocals, creating a wall of sound that beautifully compliments Aoife's evocative lyrics. "It's a song about mental health and hope" she explains. "It's a message to let people know that you can share your pain with others. It's a reminder that someone is always there for you even in the darkest times. There is always a reason to not let go." Watch the video for "Never Let Go" here:

2018 was a landmark year for the young band. They released the Given Up EP and in support performed in Dublin as part of Shane Mcgowan's 60th birthday celebration alongside the likes Nick Cave and Sinead O'Connor. They played a stunning set at the Other Voices festival and they've also supported the likes of Dream Wife, The Vaccinesand Blossoms.
Before heading stateside whenyoung will head off on a UK tour in February that will include the bands biggest headline show in London to date at the Electrowerkz.
whenyoung are Aoife Power (Vocals/ Bass), Niall Burns (Guitar), Andrew Flood(Drums). Their story started in Limerick ... three underage teenagers met for the first time after sneaking into Costello's Tavern: the only bar in town that floated their musical tastes. After bonding over cheap vodka and the sound of The Velvet Underground, they began playing music together and moved to Dublin to seek some big city excitement. Developing their sound, still with a DIY approach, the band moved to London in 2017 to became whenyoung.
