Biography
Atlanta's three-piece Young Antiques traffic in furious, youthful rock informed equally by Hüsker Dü, the Minneapolis hardcore explosion of the 1980s, the Jam, and Elvis Costello. From that distinctive yet backward-glancing blend they fashion bright, forward-driving numbers that land squarely on the qualities that have always defined classic rock & roll.
The lineup of Blake Parris on bass, Blake Rainey handling vocals and guitar, and John Speaks behind the drums came together in 1999 and immediately began delivering their unvarnished power-pop and post-punk anthems. The following year the trio issued their first recording, Wardrobe for a Jet Weekend, on their own imprint; the album enjoyed modest but genuine success in their home region.
Two years later Clockworker appeared via Two Sheds. By realizing their aim of evoking the sonic climate of late-1970s pop-punk, the band hit their creative pace and earned a spot next to acts such as the Natural History, the French Kicks, and the Libertines.
