Start Young is the second song released from the band’s early-2018-due debut album, which was recorded with Bob Cooper (his credits include Nai Harvest and Self Defense Family, which will mean a lot to some readers, certainly). The first, Brian Emo (see what they did there?) can be heard here.
Previously compared to Jawbreaker, and we're definitely hearing some Jade Tree-isms in here, Grieving are nailing that late-90s/early 00s heavier-end-of-the-emo-spectrum sound, while adding a modern resonance – and we’re loving it. Throwback, a little; but absolutely in tune with the here and now.
And if you’re loving it too, see Grieving (Facebook, Twitter) live as follows:
