Like the sticker says, Young Modern were a seminal Australian Power Pop band from the late seventies. Cited by the likes of Sunnyboys and the Hoodoo Gurus as being early influences on their careers, Young Modern were an anachronism; either too late for the first wave of Power Pop (Big Star, Raspberries, Badfinger), or too early for the second (DB's, Plimsouls, Marshall Crenshaw). Listened to today, when these time lines mean little, Play Faster (a taunt often yelled at the band by rock hungry pub goers in outer suburban beer barns) can be listened to for the terrific collection of infectious pop tunes that it is.
