Gang of Youths are an Australian alternative rock band, which formed in 2012. Since 2020, the group consists of David Le'aupepe on lead vocals, rhythm guitar and piano, Max Dunn on bass guitar, Jung Kim on guitar and keyboards, Donnie Borzestowski on drums and Tom Hobden on violin, rhythm guitar and keyboards. They relocated to England in 2017. Founding member Joji Malani, on lead guitar and backing vocals, left them in 2019 to return to Australia. The band's debut studio album, The Positions (2015), received multiple ARIA Award nominations and peaked at number five on the Australian albums chart. It provided the single "Magnolia", which has been described as their breakthrough hit and was certified platinum in 2018.
In 2017 Gang of Youths released their second studio album, Go Farther in Lightness, which was preceded by their first Australian top 50 single, "Let Me Down Easy". The album debuted at number one in Australia and was nominated for eight awards at the 2017 ARIA Music Awards, winning four – Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album and Producer of the Year (for the group and Adrian Breakspear). For the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2017, the band's songs were listed at three positions in the top 10, a feat only achieved twice before. The group's 2018 Say Yes to Life Tour in support of Go Farther in Lightness, broke several records in Australia.
Their third studio album, Angel in Realtime, was released in 2022 and debuted at number one in Australia and number 10 in the United Kingdom. It was nominated in three categories at the 2022 ARIA Awards; while at the 2022 J Awards it won Album of the Year. Its lead single, "The Angel of 8th Ave.", is their second Australian top 50 hit. An accompanying extended play, Immolation Tape, followed in May 2022 featuring acoustic renditions of the parent album's tracks.
