Meet Any Young Mechanic

They’re everywhere now — and honestly, it’s about time. The music scene found them, and they’re making waves.

The Sound That’s Catching On

So, who are they? They’re a product of Adelaide’s intimate DIY scene — and their music is all about immediacy and imperfection. It’s kind of refreshing, actually, in a world where everyone sounds the same — but can they make it last? What’s it about their sound that’s so infectious, anyway?

Their sound is cut from the same cloth as Sports Team’s sarcastic pub-rock — think acoustic guitar, banjo, and violin. It’s a winning combination, and it demands to be seen live. You probably came across their music without even knowing it — no joke. And, real talk, it’s hard not to move to their tunes. But, let’s get into it — their debut album ‘The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot’ is set to drop in June, and we can’t wait to see what they bring to the NME Stage. They’re not trying to fit into a particular sound — and that’s what makes them different. The thing is, it’s working — and we’re excited to see what’s next. ‘There’s A New Place On The Market’ and ‘My House Divides’ are just a couple of their catchy tunes — and ‘Captain and Compass’ is a hearty folk anthem that’s readymade for the seaside.

And, somehow, they’re making music that confronts the world of today — emphasizing liveness and the human quality of their music. I’ll be real with you, it’s a message we can get on board with — and one you can receive straight from the horse’s mouth at the NME Stage. But, what’s next for them? Only time will tell — yet, for now, we’re just excited to see what they’ll bring to the table.
