Young Rebel Set

Young Rebel Set are seven guys from Stockton on Tees. Formerly known as Billy The Kid And The Brothers Barbaylios, Young Rebel Set is made up of three bands from the north east, The Lurios, Whalter and The Romance.

They make melodic indie folk which tells 'full-blooded tales of tough love, hard luck and the triumph of romance against the odds,' apparently. They describe their sound as 'gritty urban folk' and the lead vocalist sings in a northern accent.

Young Rebel Set – If I Was
Our Broadcast

Young Rebel Set's début single is a beautiful folk ballad about love, hopes, dreams, regrets and the woes of being a young musician struggling to find a balance between music and romance.

It opens with a solitary guitar and simple vocal melody, then gradually introduces tambourine followed by a single drum beat, before all seven band members get involved and guitars, mandolin and bass kick in. Despite the slightly worn-out indie-band-token-northern-accent and grating pronunciation of the words 'much' and 'love', it's actually rather lovely. 3.5/5
