'Youth Group' is a pop rock band from Sydney, Australia signed to Ivy League Records. The group was formed in the late nineties by school friends Danny Allen, Paul Murphy, Toby Martin and Andy Cassell. Of the original line up only Toby Martin (vocals/guitar) and Danny Allen (drums) remain. They were joined in 2004 by Cameron Emerson-Elliott on guitar and former bassist of The Vines Patrick Matthews. The band has released two albums to date, and in March 2003 spent a month in the US playing at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, before joining The Vines and The Music on their US West Coast tour. Their single "Forever Young", a cover of the song by Alphaville, was used in the television show The O.C., it debuted on the Australian charts at #2, and eventually peaked at #1. It was also #1 in digital downloads. During 2006, they will support Coldplay in their sold-out tour of Australia, as well they have annouced their own national tour.
