Young Rebel Set – Borders

Posted: April 13, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: MP3 | Tags: , | 2 Comments

This song reminds me of the Cheers theme tune, or a song that you’d hear a pissed old man sing in the corner of a pub just before closing time.

Basically there’s a load of boozy images created by this song, and I love them all. It’s got just enough despair and optimism in it to suit the interminably stood-outside-Wetherspoons-at-9:05-on-a-weekday market.
Perhaps I’m doing it a disservice, but I don’t think so. The things I like about it are it’s simplicity and the beauty contained within. It reminds me of The Pogues, and if you fancy listening to Rum, Sodomy & The Lash, you might see where I’m coming from.
I think I’m going to really like this band, despite what most people will say, for a long time. Japanese Future-Pop they are not.

Whisper Band Of The Week: The Young Rebel Set

Posted: August 27, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Whisper Band Of The Week | Tags: , , | Leave a comment

This week’s dose of highly recommended new music

There’s an honesty and heritage to them, coming through on tracks like Common Touch, that’s almost Pogues-like, while If I Was is folk-y and coastal, filled with love and optimism. Another track, Falling Hard, reminds me of Joshua Tree-era U2 and Bob Dylan round about the time he revisited Highway 61.

While this band may never bend your head, it may just break your heart. Or at least prove a suitable soundtrack to one. While we all wish that our lives were the crazy rollercoasters we dreamed of in our youth, in reality most of time we’ll just sit there and staring out the window at other people. And the music of the Young Rebel Set will make us feel good.
