## Biography

- Years & Years exploded onto London’s pop scene in 2010 and haven’t let up since. Their sound holds true to many of the familiar constructs of 80s synth pop, but much of their charm comes from their snappy yet original take on british electronic R&B.

  The group is composed of Mikey Goldsworth, Emre Turkmen, and Olly Alexander who has claimed the role of frontman. Apart from Alexander’s profession as a musician he is also a scriptwriter and actor who has been featured in the films “Bright Star”, “Enter the Void”, “Great Expectations”, and “Le Week-End”. He also starred in Stuart Murdoch’s (lead singer of Belle & Sebastian) directorial debut “God Help the Girl”, a film in which he was granted the opportunity to showcase his musical talent.

  The group formed in 2010 originally as a 5 piece. Goldsworthy had just moved from Australia to London and had come into contact with Turkmen through an online forum. Not long after their introduction the 2 conceptualized Years & Years and subsequently invited Alexander to front the band. Noel Leeman and Oliver Subria joined later, but by 2013 the group had reverted back to a trio.

  The collective put out their 1st single “I Wish I Kew” in 2012 and In 2013 they issued another single “Traps” as well as their 1st studio EP, also entitled “Traps”. This EP came out through the label Kitsune as did their proceeding EP “Real”. The group changed labels later that year, signing to Copenhagen Records and Polydor in time for their release of the EP “Take Shelter”.

  The single “Desire” and it’s corresponding remix EP concluded their solo output for 2014. During this year they had also worked on remixes for The Magician and Tourist. At the start of 2015 they issued their 3rd release on Polydor “Y&Y EP”, which included the single “King”. This year also saw them take the “BBC Sound of 2015” award and receive a nomination for “MTV Brand New For 2015”.

## Live reviews

- Years & Years

  "Thanks for coming out so early this morning, there's so many of you", applauds Olly Alexander, the hipster-looking frontman of Years & Years. For a 1pm set on the final day of Bestvial, the electro/pop three piece who formed in 2010 drew a sizable growing crowd to the Big Top for their impressive set. While the rest of my friends stayed back at the camp nursing hangovers, I braved it alone, heading to the set by myself, and I'm so glad I did.

  Olly who is also an actor (he appeared in the final series of Skins as Jakob and also features in new film The Riot Club) and script writer, proved to be formidable frontman - quite the man of many talents. Live, his voice is a combination of Justin Timberlake's R&B crooning and The Weeknd aka Abel Tesafye's soulful ‘What You Need’ haunting tones. Add some infectious, perfect for a summer festival, synth and bass lines courtesy of band members Michael Goldsworthy and Emre Turkmen and you've got pretty much the perfect mix.

  Current single 'Take Shelter' received an early but impressive outing, with most of the crowd singing along happily. A daring move, but it proves that Y&Y have plenty more pop hits in waiting ready to smash the chart. One of these pop-hits-in-waiting is the especially brilliant 'Real', with its slinky electronic synth beat gliding along an infectious chorus; hand claps included.

  Later, the tempo is slowed down during ‘Eyes Shut, which sees Olly sit down at a piano where he is able to showcase his impressive vocal range. Wearing an oversized Stussy t-shirt and skinny jeans, while Michael wears a loudly printed flowery shirt, they are a boy band technically, but as far away from manufactured “pop”. so to speak, as possible.

  They close with an as yet untitled, but perfect new single, which will undoubtedly send them further up the charts upon its release. By the time they tour with Clean Bandit in October, Years and Years will be close enough to household names satus! Read more

- I first heard them play when they were supporting Sam Smith. I love a good beat, and I think they complimented him well. The sound was amazing, when I heard ther recorded music I thought this is great-but I know how much better is live. However when I watched them at The Thekla in Bristol this week is as a bit disappointed. The bass was good, however there was definitely something missing from the background and I can't quite put my finger on it. I would still love to hear them play though. Perhaps hey we're just trying new things, which I can understand in a small venue like that. Read more

- Concert was amazing: fantastic light show and songs were all on point. Even if you didn't know any Years & Years songs, still would have been great to watch. Easily one of the best concerts I've been to, and I can't wait for the opportunity to see them again! Read more

- good, although clearly the lead singer was suffering from a cold as his voice was weaker than normal. the

  venue was quite good, although acoustics were average. I would go back, but not in a hurry

- Best gig I've ever been too! Absolute party, Olly is an insanely captivating front man without completely taking over, it's still about the band. Can't wait to see them again in October!
