YOUNG KNIVES

Experimental indie rockers Young Knives come to Future Yard on Thursday 6th February 2025. The group are on the road again with new LP Landfill out on 24th January.

Not art; Not music; Not a band; just Young Knives.

Tickets on sale now.

This witty and creative post-punk revivalist trio formed in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England in the mid-90s, settling on the Young Knives name in 2002 following their relocation to Oxford. Comprised of brothers Henry Dartnall on guitar and Thomas Dartnall (aka House of Lords) on bass, alongside drummer Oliver Askew, the siblings shared vocal duties with Henry usually taking the lead.

Produced by Gang of Four’s Andy Gill, it was their late-2005 single The Decision which started to get the band noticed. 2006 brought three further Gill-produced singles – each hit the U.K. Top 40 – as well as the accompanying Mercury-nominated debut album Voices Of Animals And Men. 2008’s follow-up, Superabundance, fared equally well critically and commercially and 2011’s Ornaments From The Silver Arcade retained many of the elements that had made their first two records a success. However, 2013’s Sick Octave and 2020’s Barbarians saw them delve deeper into the experimental side of English post-punk.
