YOUTH GROUP UNVEIL NEW SINGLE SATURDAY DAD
NEW ALBUM BIG WHOOP – OUT OCTOBER 31
PRE-ORDER HERE
ALBUM TOUR SET FOR OCTOBER/NOVEMBER
SYDNEY, October 17, 2025: Beloved Sydney band Youth Group have today released their new single ‘Saturday Dad’, another taste of their forthcoming new album ‘Big Whoop’ out soon on October 31. The band are also commencing a run of headline shows from the same date to November 8.
The new track is a slice of dreamy indie that exhibits founding member, singer, guitarist and songwriter Toby Martin’s special talent for observing the lives of the characters around him.
Toby explains, “For this album, Cam and I spent quite a few evenings sitting around his kitchen table nutting out songs together. This is one of the ones that came from Cam’s table. It was a riff and a melody and a chorus he had, and then I wrote a verse lyric for. It is a microdrama about modern parenting, undercut by a sweet, swinging shuffle.”
‘Big Whoop’ also feature the band’s previous single ‘The Joke’ and is available for pre-order now.
Combining the familiar Youth Group magic with some new explorations into a more dance-rock feel, the record is a fresh approach for Youth Group and some say, their best album yet. Impressed Recordings is releasing the record in conjunction with Cassell Records.
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of their recording of ‘Forever Young’, which went on to become Australia’s first number 1 single on the ARIA Digital Singles Chart.
