Gang Of Youths Look To Hit Top Ten On Album Charts

Staff Writer

More Gang Of Youths Gang Of Youths Profile

They only just released their debut album, The Positions, on Friday.

And indie band, Gang Of Youths are already reaping the rewards from the record, with news that the boys are set to break the top ten on the ARIA Album Charts this week. 

The album has been met with positive reviews from fans and critics alike, and it will no doubt aid the boys who are set to hit the road on a national tour in support of the new material, starting with an already sold out show in Sydney on 15 May. 

Other debuts dropping this week include US outfit, Alabama Shakes, with their second studio album Sound and Color, which is expected to reach the top five, as well as indietronica group, Passion Pit and their record, Kindred.

Meanwhile, with Anzac Day approaching this weekend it is expected that the compilation album, Spirit Of The ANZACS, which has held the number one in recent weeks, will be a contender to again top the charts.
