Young the Giant

Young the Giant is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Coin, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Joywave and The Unlikely Candidates. Those roots explain a lot about how Young the Giant arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bad Suns, Walk the Moon, Atlas Genius, Grouplove and Sir Sly, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ra Ra Riot, Two Door Cinema Club, Tokyo Police Club, Incubus and Vinyl Theatre, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 51 connections around Young the Giant, reaching back through Coin and forward to Ra Ra Riot. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
