You'll be delighted to know that there is nothing typical about The Young Folk. Yes, the band members are of a certain youthful age, and yes, the songs they create are variants/enhancements on what could be tethered under the term 'folk, but if you're looking for very obvious reference points (or worse, clichés) then you'd best search elsewhere.
"serious challengers for the likes of Fleet Foxes, Mumford and Sons and The Low Anthem." - Hot Press
"one of the most promising Irish bands for decades"
- Maverick Magazine
"The Young Folk are one of the most memorable bands I heard in Austin this year at SXSW 2014. Their unassuming style came as a breath of fresh air amidst the barrage of 'folk-pop' acts gracing the SXSW stages, and though they claim a variety of influences on their songwriting, their sound is frank and straightforward folk as it could possibly be. And, as delighted as I was by their vocal harmonies and high degree of technical prowess at the Full Irish Breakfast, it wasn't until I listened to their debut album 'The Little Battle' that I fully realized the depth and subtlety in their songs.'The Little Battle' is an album of intricacies, performed with appealing energy and confident style. The Young Folk haven't gone out of their way to make their music more mainstream, depending instead on their keen musicianship and candid lyricism to carve a niche for their delicately crafted songs. 9/10" - theregoesthefear.com
