YOUNG REBEL SET were one, and there is no better word for it, phenomenon. Of course, in retrospect you can romanticize and nostalgize the band's history, but that's how it was. Seven friends in their early 20s form a band in the KuBar in Stockton-on-Tees, in the north-east of England, and write their first song, "If I Was". And through rock'n'roll magic that can no longer be traced today, he finds his way to the Swiss concert promoter Martin Schrader. He knows exactly who needs to hear it next and sends it to Danny Simons, who books the concerts for Grand Hotel van Cleef in Germany. The fire is set. A little later Thees Uhlmann flies to Newcastle to see one of the band's first concerts. He gets to know the band and the matter is made clear that night.

At the beginning of 2010, YOUNG REBEL SET play their first concerts in Germany, and a first EP with the band's first songs is released on Grand Hotel van Cleef. The shows are wild, unpredictable, hedonistic and sometimes chaotic. The debut "Curse Our Love" was released in April 2011, and in the UK the band was signed to Ignition Records (including Oasis, Primal Scream, Hard-Fi, ...). Of course the Internet already existed, but “hype” worked differently back then. About the music, about the concerts.

Through word of mouth the concerts are getting bigger and bigger and at the end of 2011 in Berlin and Hamburg there are already around 1,000 fans standing in front of the stage when singer Matty Chipchase and the brothers Parmley and Evans enter. The second album "Crocodile" followed in 2013, and in 2015 the story ended with an indefinite break. The last five years have been intense, perhaps a touch too much. It should take four years until Matty Chipchase gets his gang back together: new songs are already in the drawer and reunion concerts are being planned. In December 2019, Matty died at the age of just 35, and the concerts did not take place.

In September 2024, on the day that Matty would have celebrated his 40th birthday, his bandmates will perform at the KuBar in Stockton with the support of the local music scene. They celebrate Matty's lyrics, their songs together, their friendship. A fire burns again. And so the founding members Andy and Chris Parmley and Luke Evans decide to get the gang together again: With other former cast members and companions, YOUNG REBEL SET will tour Europe again in September 2025, and not only play their indestructible songs "If I Was", "Lion's Mouth", "Walk On", "Measure of a Man" and whatever they are called, but also new pieces that were written for the third album. Unfortunately Matty is no longer there, but the magic is.

The band announced their tour with a video message and recorded acoustic performance for visitors to the Beach Motel van Cleef Festival, which took place on January 10th and 11th in St. Peter-Ording. The surprised fans already had the opportunity to purchase the first tickets for the concerts in September. In addition to the brothers Andy and Chris Parmley (guitar and drums) and bassist Luke Evans, the band's line-up for the upcoming tour also includes Andy Bensley, who not only recorded demos for the band or took care of the live sound, but also toured as a guitarist. Danny Allison, who has been recording and playing with the band since before the “Crocodile” album, sits at the piano.

Liverpool singer Tom Blackwell takes over the lead vocals position. The band said:

"No one can replace Matty. He was unique in every sense of the word, and we still feel his loss immeasurably. When the idea arose to rewrite the ending of Young Rebel Set, to add a chapter, it was clear that the position at the microphone would be the most difficult to fill. We knew that we had to find someone who wouldn't just copy Matty, that's impossible, but someone we respect as musicians and who can bring his own style and voice to our songs.

With Tom Blackwell we have found exactly that person: He is originally from Liverpool and we met him in London a good ten years ago when we were recording our second album. We spent a lot of time together and he recently married a good friend of ours near us on Teeside pulled. We love Tom’s voice and his own songs as a solo artist, he will also be playing support at the concerts in September, and couldn’t be happier to have him on the microphone for us on this tour too.”

Mark Evans, Lukes' brother, the band's original second guitarist, won't be joining us on tour, but there's no bad blood at all: "Of course, Mark initially toyed with the idea of ​​coming on tour with us, but as the plans became more concrete, he decided to concentrate on his own album instead. We recorded many of his solo songs together, which will be released soon. The record sounds great, keep your eyes peeled!”
