"Youth Group are at the forefront of an exciting new era in Australian alternative/indie music. They have the pop of The Posies, the articulate desire of Death Cab for Cutie, the rock of The Pixies, and the angst of Bright Eyes. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Toby Martin formed the group with drummer Danny Allen in Sydney, Australia and despite several line-up changes since, these two remain at the band's core. After quickly gaining a strong live following the band signed to local independent label Ivy League Records (the same people who manage The Vines and Jet) and released their debut album in May 2001."

"Dark and melancholic, singer/guitarist Toby Martin has a voice that is undeniably pure and potent. With each song he guides us across varied landscapes of pop, folk and indie rock terrain. From the haunting single "Shadowland" to live favorites "See-Saw" and "Piece of Wood," Skeleton Jar is truly an eclectic feast."
>From the band's purevolume
Beautiful, melodious, enchanting, absorbing, soothing, astounding - I could think of many other words to describe this band, but instead I will sum them up in just one word: YES. "Shadowland" is sure to pull you in and carry you through some of the most honest musicianship since the Beatles.
Recommended listens: "Shadowland" and "Skeleton Jar"
