About Me

York St is the newest 10-armed monster to emerge from the Brisbane rock scene.Initially formed at the end of 2000, under the guise of Starling, founding members Alex Jenkins (vocals & keyboard) & Craig Chunk Brown (vocals & guitar) formed the band as a side project to their studies at QUT.Evolving with several member changes over the years, the band picked up drummer Guy Edmonds and guitarist Damian Hoo via acquaintances and chance meetings through the Brisbane scene.Now based in Sydney, the band went through a final identity change in 2004 to both pick up a bass player Simon Wideaur (also of Springfield) and to then finally settle on the band name York St.Whilst every band these days lays claims to being the bastard offspring of one successful band and another, York St may just buck this trend by actually proving its comparisons true. Unashamedly wearing their influences on their sleeves, York St. has a sound that blends the soaring, melodic emotion of Coldplay with a commercial rock sensibility of U2 and Evermore.The story behind the name evolving to York St has many varied origins, and with most of the members of the band being able to carry a story with their acting skills, we may never know the true reasoning behind it. With tales ranging from severe automotive accidents & stolen instruments, through to chance meetings with musical idols and even occult references, when the boys do finally decide to conceed the names origins, it may be a case of the truth being stranger than fiction.They've hit a bump in the road in regards to their album recording... a slight delay is all. Will keep you posted as it develops.For further information, contact the band on email.... [email protected] or call Alex on +61 408 005 664
