About Young London (www.facebook.com/younglondonmusic ):
Matt Rhoades and Sarah Graziani of electro pop duo YOUNG LONDON began writing music together in 2011. They quickly realized that their writing styles combined to form a unique, catchy, dance-inducing style. After their explosive debut at South by Southwest, and a subsequent tour this past summer, they headed into the studio to start working on their first full-length album.
With the direction of producer Mark Maxwell (Blake Lewis, Boys Like Girls), YOUNG LONDON completed their self-titled debut, which was released on January 10 via Fugitive Recordings. The Boston Phoenix recently featured the duo on the cover of the paper and called their sound, “Euro-thumping, anthemic techno-pop…dance music with a bull's-eye on the back of the Top 40.”
