Gang of Youths has already written themselves off as a**holes, by the looks of the biting reviews they’ve posted (as in “Wanna see someone with zero charisma get up on stage and pretend to be Jim Morrison for half an hour-?” ) But it takes a special bastard of jerk to flaunt their own bad press; the kind that generates must-see CMJ buzz. If Arcade Fire were a little more bromantic, they would be Gang of Youths. They’ve recently made the leap from Australia to Music City, and hopefully more hijinks on the level of “A Sudden Light” will ensue. Listen and decide for yourself if any more attention is warranted. –Terra James-Jura
