“Atlanta trio the Young Antiques play angry-young-man rock that draws the ’80s Minneapolis hardcore scene as well as the Jam and Elvis Costello. With this unique mix, the band creates buoyant and propulsive songs that shoot straight to the heart of what makes good old rock & roll great.”

Charles Spano – All Music Guide

“Best Soundtrack For Two-Fisting It In L5P: ‘Fucked Up In Public’ (Young Antiques Music) Staff Pick: Atlanta’s consummate power-pop songwriter Blake Rainey takes a drunken stroll through the bars of Little Five Points on the 7-inch “FUCKED UP IN PUBLIC” from the Young Antiques (Young Antiques Music). A rapid-fire jangle and searing lead follows our hero through his mini odyssey in this night in the life of a working man.”

Creative Loafing Best of 2010

“Vinyl Of The Month: It’s just the shot in the arm that the all-too-serious indie rock scene needs. If you’ve recently traded in your sense of fun for a pair of ironic Buddy Holly glasses, you might want to check out this 3-song blast of contagious energy, and remember what it was like when you first fell in love with the power of music. The Young Antiques have a penchant for great college-rock as well, something many of their post-punk peers lack. Being able to switch gears between straight up pop-punk and Paul Westerberg song structures makes Fucked Up In Public a well-rounded disc, and one well worth dropping the needle on. ”

Benjamin Ricci – Performer Magazine

“In true ‘tiques style the it’s brash, fast and very clean. Not quite the usual fair of dirty recordings and sloppy chops that pass for wholesale punk these days, but the base elements are there. Plus it’s called “Fucked Up In Public” and it’s probably the most memorable song the Young Antiques have churned-out. ”

Chad Radford – Creative Loafing

“The group’s latest album, “Soundtrack to Tear Us Apart,” leans toward pop sensibilities—songs cut in three-to-four minute time ranges and rigidly structured—while eschewing pop’s more asinine aspects in favor of something more hardened and genuine.”

Matt Amato – Metromix

“They are angelically tough and their garage sound deserves to be heard by the outside world. Rainey can switch from the detail of the mundane to huge sweeps of power chords and a keening vocal howl.”
