Young Galaxy is a Canadian indie pop duo, whose members are Stephen Ramsay (vocals/guitar) and Catherine McCandless (vocals/keyboards). Since the release of their debut album in 2007, they have expanded to include Stephen Durand on guitar (Tinker, Auf Der Maur, Moufette), Stephen Kamp on bass, and Liam O' Neill on drums.

Young Galaxy formed in Vancouver. Through that summer of 2005 and the spring of 2006 they recorded with appearances and contributions of friends at Jace Lasek’s Breakglass Studio. Their sound has been described as similar to the bands Slowdive, Galaxie 500 and Luna as well as Pink Floyd and Spiritualized.[1] The band has toured in Canada, The United states and Europe, opening for The Album Leaf, The Frames, Peter, Bjorn and John. They later moved to Montreal, where they recorded their self-titled debut. The album was released on April 24, 2007. In February, 2008, Multi-instrumentalist Max Henry joined the band playing keyboard, backup guitar and other instruments. They are currently working on their second LP at Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal with Radwan Moumneh engineering (A Silver Mt. Zion, Pas Chic Chic).
