Young and Divine
Thanks to the best efforts of lead singer/songwriter Johnny Clark and the internet, this NY three-piece formed in the summer of 2007. Since then Y&D has been getting massive media buzz and tons of "we love you" MySpace comments from fans.

Their self-titled debut album is laden with hard rockin' youthful exuberance and well-versed upbeat guitar pop. The band's DIY attitude makes their harmonic driven rhythms that much more alluring and intriguing. Songs like "Friday Night" and "Undercover Lover" don't disappoint and add an almost mystic appeal to the album as a whole. The quirkily poetic "Weakdays" is a darn catchy song with simplistic boogie-woogie melodies and a slightly synthesized feel.

Clark's vocals soothe on the sympathetic "Show Me You're Alive," which is an ode to breakups, love, life, and longing while "Retro vs Techno" is, dare I say, a unique mix of retro and techno dance riffs that every red-white-and-blue blooded American teen should have blasting through their ipods.
