Young Liars is a Canadian indie rock band based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their musical style is upbeat and has been described as "synth-infused pop rock".[1]
History
Bassist Andrew Beck, drummer Tyler Badali and singer/guitarist Jordan Raine formed in Vancouver in 2008, and were soon joined by keyboardist Wes Nickel.[2][1] taking The band's name refers to the David Lapham comic Young Liars.[3]. They began performing in the metro-Vancouver area, and later in western Canada. Their performances showed the influence of Foals, Hot Chip, Two Door Cinema Club and Phoenix.
In February, 2011 The Young Liars independently released a seven-track EP, Homesick Future in download-only format. [4] The band's first American performance was in October 2011 at Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival in Los Angeles, CA.[5] In November that year the band signed with Nettwerk Records,[6] who re-released the Homesick Future EP in early 2012.[4] The album included the band's debut single, "Colours".[7]
Beginning in 2012, the Young Liars began performing showcases at music festivals, including Rifflandia, NXNE and Sled Island in Canada.
The band released their debut full-length, Tidal Wave in June, 2014; the songs featured a more mellow sound than their previous work.[8][9]
