In an era full of dour landfill indie in the fallout from Britpop, YOUNGER YOUNGER 28s were the shining light in synthpop. They were a marvellous cross between two of Sheffield greatest bands, combining the catchy avant pop of THE HUMAN LEAGUE with the observational lyrical wit of PULP. Their only album Soap was a cutting tongue-in-cheek satire on class aspirations and dreams; a pastiche novelty record based around strong tunes and upbeat chimes despite the inherent darkness and despair of the subject matter.
These are photos from concerts where Younger Younger 28s played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
