The Young Republic

Bio

The Young Republic are a virtuoso octet equally schooled in the arts of sunny, country tinged guitar-pop and orchestral derring-do. Hailing from the Back Bay neighbourhood of Boston, Massachusetts, the band formed around a refectory table in their freshman year, and have rapidly proved themselves to be among the most distinctive ensembles in the greater New England area. Having toured the US twice and built a grass roots following via three self-released EPs and radio sessions for the likes of WOXY, The Young Republic are now ready to take their blend of classic pop and classical smarts to the world.

The YR takes each tune and adds their special blend of folk, rock and classical styles. Deliberately and delicately adding instrument upon instrument, with keen ears for harmony, color and counterpoint, they create music that aims more towards the 60’s pop music giants (Wilson, Lennon, McCartney) and the luminaries who overshadow even them (Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Stravinsky) than their indie rock contemporaries. They are at heart, a rock band, but it is perhaps a willingness to stretch into new musical territory that sets them apart from the rest of the pack.

Following the success of debut single ‘Blue Skies’, The Young Republic release a double a-sided follow up single in the shape of ‘Girl from The Northern States’ and non album AA 'Your Heart Belongs In Tennessee'. with 'Seeing People You Know' as a further track. As with ‘Blue Skies’, 'Girl From The Northern States' will come in a limited edition embossed sleeve vinyl.
