Young Turks were formed in Portland, Oregon's rainy winter of 2010 as a side project to several then-active bands. A lineup of acquaintances, turned best friends. 2 years, one 7″ ("Halfhearted", released on Arctic Circle Pit Records in March of 2011), and their debut full length ("Where I Lie", released on Animal Style Records on 8/7/12) under their belts, they continue to push forward into ground that seems oddly familiar. If it’s possible to push forward and backwards at the same time, they have found their formula for paying homage to their adolescent punk roots and realizing their contemporary ferocity.
