The young hips are a three piece; including Paul Carr (26) on bass & vocals, dom milligan (28) on guitar & vocals & davie pearson (27) on drums. The band who hail from Motherwell, Scotland delved their talents in many other bands before forming the young hips in the summer of 2002. With much in common the band were lucky enough to be brought up and influenced by good music, including 60’s giants ‘The Beatles’, ‘The Who’ and ‘The Stones’. The bands other influences include ‘The Jam’, ‘The Stone Roses’ and Liverpool’s very own ‘The La’s’ and ‘Shack’ but through the bands dedication to song writing and spirited live performances the young hips have developed a sound that is very much their own. 

Since forming, the band have played numerous gig’s throughout Scotland including King Tut’s(Glasgow), Barfly(Glasgow) and The Venue(Edinburgh). The boys also run a successful club night of their own in their home town which showcases local talent and includes a set of soul an rock ‘n’ roll from the much acclaimed DJ Gerry.

The young hips have also recorded a number of their own songs in the past year. Last September they recorded "The Young Hips ep" in Cava studios in Glasgow that has had extensive airplay on radio and received rave reviews in the press. The young hips are a band who have, and continue to write songs that would stand up anywhere. A band not to be missed!
