Young Knives is an English indie rock band hailing from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire. Formed in 1998, the band consists of Henry Dartnall on guitar and vocals, Thomas Dartnall (affectionately known as 'The House of Lords') on bass and vocals, and Oliver Askew on drums.

Lead singer Henry affectionately refers to his younger brother Tom as 'The House of Lords' due to his knack for vetoing his ideas. Together, they create a unique sound that has captivated audiences since their inception.

With their catchy melodies and energetic performances, Young Knives have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the indie rock scene. Their music is a blend of infectious hooks and clever lyrics that showcase their undeniable talent and creativity.

Young Knives return to their noisey DIY roots with new EP - as lead singer and guitarist Henry Dartnall explains "For some reason when you are working with record labels it's an assumption that you book into a 500 pound per day studio and a producer tells you what is wrong with your music and makes it better for you. I know it's a cliche - but after these sessions we have always felt there was no good reason why we couldn't have done it ourselves like we always used to." In terms of drastic reinventions, it's up there with when Dexy's' Kevin Rowland started wearing a wedding dress, albeit a rather more appealing one. "We have tried to make a record that will mess with peoples expectations of us,' Thomas 'The House Of Lords' Dartnall says. "We wanted to make something dark and nasty, something industrial, synthetic, crass but with a sprinkling of pretty shit." Some of it sounds like Kraftwerk. Some of it sounds like a late 1990s computer games console being forced into a food processor. Some of sounds like experimental Blur. Some of it sounds like The Fall. Some of those riffs do sound a bit like Gang Of Four still, actually. It's the most intriguing, dark, out there yet still instantly lapel-gripping music the band has ever created. Young Knives under the bed sheets.
