The Naked & Famous won the APRA Silver Scroll for Young Blood, a song that debuted at No. 1 on the singles charts in June.There are 80s and early 90s influences abounding, taking in everything from camp synth pop and Pretty Hate Machine-era Nine Inch Nails, to shoegaze moments (akin to Slowdive or Curve) on No Way, and Spank takes off on a big distorted beat frenzy like early Chemical Brothers.
"Finally. A young New Zealand band so brilliant, so thrilling, so daring and delicious that I want to write their name in big red letters on my pencil case..." 5 Stars -Grant Smithies
