Young Pioneers - Dusting off their spurs, poised to release their long awaited debus LP, High Again on K.

Veterans of the NW underground, Young Pioneers formed in Olympia's nascent punk scene during the early 80s.

They've not lost their gift as masters of the dark art of post-punk pop psychedelia, welding wicked melody into pop hooks.

They beat a mean tambourine. Leather jackets and a pompadour; studs and eye make up; Young Pioneers have created a massive sound layering the guitar organ drumbeat.
