Operating out of Seattle, Washington, USA, since the early 80s, the Young Fresh Fellows have released a body of rough-hewn, understated pop gems. Formed in 1982 by Scott McCaughey (bass/vocals), Chuck Carroll (guitar) and Tad Hutchinson (drums), their debut album was recorded in 1983 and released a year later. Fabulous Sounds Of The Pacific Northwest picked up immediate plaudits, Rolling Stone going so far as to describe it as "perfect". Joined by Jim Sangster (bass), they become a fully fledged offbeat new wave act, the dry humour and acute observations of their lyrics attracting a large college following. Their stylistic fraternity with the higher-profile Replacements was confirmed by their joint tours, both bands sharing what Billboard magazine described as "a certain deliberate crudity of execution".
