Biography

Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England (1998 – present)

Young Knives are an group which formed in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England in 1998. The band consists of Henry Dartnall (vocals, guitar), Thomas Dartnall (bass, vocals) and Oliver Askew (drums, vocals). The band has released three full length albums, “Voices of Animals and Men” (2006), “Superabundance” (2008) and “Ornaments from the Silver Arcade” (2011). Three singles from “Voices of Animals and Men” made the UK Top 40 in 2006.

The band formed in 1998 under the name Simple Pastoral Existence, and later renamed themselves Ponyclub, changing their name to The Young Knives once they were notified of another group named Pony Club (a third, unrelated band also with this name would later change their name to New Young Pony Club to avoid confusion with this same group). The Young Knives released their debut mini-album “The Young Knives are Dead” in 2002, and have since released three full length albums. The band dropped the definite article from their name in 2008 and became simply “Young Knives”.

    @coxyboy11 - Mine did the same, they've split into Young Knives/The Young Knives. Probably a short-term glitch (hopefully).

    "They need a new album." Not really. It's been like 8 months. What they REALLY need is a b-sides comp.

    I hope with the last album only reaching 80 in the UK charts that the record label will give up pushing this commercial sound on them, hopefully they will get back to making some authentic Post-Punk.

    I couldn't give a fuck if there is a "The" or not infront of the band name. Christ on a bike!

    i'm really suprised that there's quite a few comments hating on them! i've got the first album which i thought was magic, and just listened to the latest one and i'm loving it, it's different but just such feel good tunes on it!
