Younghusband is a british band from London, UK. The line up consists of Euan Hinshelwood (vocals/guitar/keys), Adam Beach (guitar), Joe Chilton (Bass) and Pete Baker (drums). They released their first single in June 2011 with the UK label Too Pure,. Younghusband initially existed as a bedroom recording project by Euan who put out an early single and two e.p's 'The Judas Cow' and 'Idiot Son' on small u.k. label Culturedeluxe. Shortly after this a band was formed to play the songs live. Overtime the band started writing together and embraced a heavier psych filled sound, moving away from the lo-fi acoustic orientated sound of the bedroom output. In interviews the band have mentioned Stereolab, The Birthday Party, Beach Boy's, The Ronnettes, Oscar Peterson, Broadcast, Wire and The Cocteau Twin's to be amongst their influences.
Euan is also a member of Emmy The Great, co producing the bands first album 'First Love' and working alongside Gareth Jones (notable for working with Depeche Mode, Einstürzende Neubauten, Wire and Erasure) on the follow up 'Virtue' in 2011.
