The Young Hearts were an indie rock band from London, formed around frontman Sam Martin. They released their debut album 'From the Ashes' in 2012, followed by 'The Weight' in 2015 and the single 'Old Familiar' in 2018. The band included bassist Emily Brooks, drummer Josh Carter, and keyboardist Jake Harris.
Their 2018 single 'Old Familiar' became their most recognizable track, with its melancholic melody and nostalgic lyrics finding an audience. The song's straightforward emotional pull seemed to capture something for listeners that their earlier, more raw material hadn't quite managed.
The band disbanded in 2020. Their catalog, particularly the later work like 'Old Familiar,' still gets played by people who connected with that particular strain of London indie rock.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
