Young and Restless were drawn together in Canberra in April
2005. Ask the five members of the band what magnetised them
and somewhere in the sprawling explanation there’d inevitably
be reference to noise and energy. Because noise and energy are
central to everything about Young and Restless.
Guitarists Ash Pegram and Mark Falkland play with a hardcore
intensity that struggles to be harnessed to the band’s blink and
you’ll miss ‘em pop songs. Teenage bass player Ross Paxman
makes it more than evident that he spent part of his youth
growing up in Seattle and in tandem with drummer Nugie
Utomo plays with a ferocity intent on waking the entire
neighbourhood. And out front singer Karina Utomo effortlessly
and unintentionally smashes every stereotype you may still be
unconsciously clinging on to. This is a woman with something to
say and a voice to say it with.
Now calling Melbourne home (except for Nugie who is still in
Canberra for studies), Young and Restless were thrust into the
spotlight late last year when they won Triple J's Unearthed
competition, which resulted in them performing at Homebake in
Sydney. Six months on and the band has been ripping up stages
across the country with the likes of Erase Errata, Cansei De Ser
Sexy and Love Is All.
The album is completely self-funded and
was recorded by Tom Larkin of Shihad, at his studio in Melbourne
earlier this year. Despite several tracks having already sneakily,
blasted out on radio (I Pointed At You and You Burst Into Flames,
Satan, Dirty Kicks) the album will be the first official release for
Young and Restless and Satan and Dirty Kicks have now been
remade, remodelled and cranked for even more high energy
action.
Vocal collaborators on the album include Peter Saladino (Brisk)
and Tom Lyngcoln (The Nation Blue).
