20 years on from the recording of their number 1 single Forever Young, beloved Sydney band Youth Group announcing new signing to Impressed Recordings, drop their new single The Joke, and announce a national run of headline shows to support their new album Big Whoop, released 19
thSeptember 2025.
The Joke is classic Youth Group: a deftly observed story of growing up in the Sydney suburbs set to a soaring melody and a jangly, driving sound.
The forthcoming record Big Whoop combines this familiar Youth Group magic with some new explorations into a more dance-rock feel as previewed on the 2024 single Siberia with journeys into a dark synth and beats world with long-time friend and producer Wayne Connolly. Its a fresh approach for Youth Group and some say their best record yet.
