Young and Restless Call it Quits

Canberra via Melbourne band Young and Restless have played their last show ever :(

After four and a half years, one J-Award, a top twenty ranking in the 2007 Bawley 100 (Police! Police! #12), a handful of awesome singles, a kick arse debut album, and countless insane live shows Y&R have decided to call it quits.

The official anouncement on myspace/youngandrestlessau before the bands last ever show at The Arthouse in Melbourne.

If the pictures are anything to go by the bands last ever show was as wild as their first.
