About Us

Formed in 2018.

A lone hero in a world that seems pit against him, Wyoming traveled the universe after his home was destroyed by ancient titans. On his adventures, Wyoming has challenged mystical shamans, travelled through time to worlds of ice and gloom and unrest, and grappled with his own mortality in the lonely black of space. Continually tried by ancient magic, Wyoming struggled and survived despite arcane forces that seemed to perpetually test him.

After learning the tales of their ancient extra-dimensional brother, Wyoming Young and Strong took up the challenge of bringing the lost folk songs of this epic hero to our world. They hope his stories will guide others and make sense of the frustrations of youth and burdens of strength in a dwindling America. Josh, Jason, and Josh have arranged these songs in the tradition of Bass, Drums, Guitar, and Vocals. As the ancient seers before them, they deliver these songs to you in a way that aspires to make Wyoming proud.

Reviews

I’ve had my earphones filled with the sounds WYOMING YOUNG AND STRONG this week. The Seattle trio generates a brooding atmosphere on the order of Black Tusk and Kylesa, and similarly shout their lyrics (often in unison). There’s something quite fierce, and even a bit joyful, about such a presentation. There are, after all, fantastic tales to be told!

Doomed and stoned

With dual vocals highlighting the heavy guitar and drums, WY&S released the four-song Death and Ruin EP in 2018. They have since been playing shows gathering support around the Pacific Northwest through their energetic live performances. Their debut full-length ‘Black Wire’ is due out on Friday November 27th.

Black Wire builds its own sharp peaks and broad valleys across 10 tracks and 47 minutes of careening, noise-informed heavy. They acknowledge the likes of Mastodon as an influence, and that’s there, but with the sometimes combined barks of Engelhardt and Williams, the sludge-meets-burgeoning-progressivism style of their riffs and rhythms, cuts like “Black Wire,” opener “Redland Wanderer” and bookending finale “Age of Iron” feel more like mid-period Kylesa, and that, especially considering Black Wire is their debut preceded just by 2019’s Death and Ruin four-song EP, is a striking impression to make, with Engelhardt bridging that Phillip Cope-ism with the open swagger of West Coast-style noise rock.
