Younghusband

English indie rock band from WATFORD. The band consists of frontman Euan Hinshelwood, guitarist Adam Beach and bassist Joe Chilton. They released their first single in June 2011 with the UK label Too Pure,. This was followed by the 'Crystal E.P.' released by U.K. shoegaze label Sonic Cathedral in November 2011. Younghusband initially existed as a bedroom recording project by Euan who put out an early single and two e.p's 'The Judas Cow' and 'Idiot Son' on small u.k. label Culturedeluxe. Shortly after this a band was formed to play the songs live. Overtime the band started writing together and embraced a heavier psych filled sound, moving away from the lo-fi orientated sound of the bedroom output. They began recording their debut album in the summer of 2012 with producer Nicolas Vernhes, noted for his work with the likes of Animal Collective, Deerhuter, Dirty Projectors and Silver Jews. The album is set for a spring 2013 release. In interviews the band have mentioned Stereolab, The Birthday Party, Television Personalities, The Ronnettes, Felt, Broadcast, Wire and The Cocteau Twin's to be amongst their influences.
