Youngblood Hawke - Rootless

Much of what is written about Youngblood Hawke focuses on their unique, carefree origin story, and their smoking hot female drummer. That's all well and good, but it misses the larger, more important point: their music is fanfuckingtastic.
YBH (as no one is calling them) was one of the breakout stars of this years SXSW for a reason. It's impossible to listen to their music and not have an extra hop in your step. Listening to their single "Rootless," I find myself overcome with the same emotions I had as a youngster on the last day of school. Hear it below:
Youngblood Hawke just signed with Universal Records, so keep your fingers crossed that their creativity isn't stifled by major label dipshitery, to make up a word.
The band is currently in the studio recording their first full-length, so stay tuned here as we'll be sure to keep you up to date on that.
