Indie rock band, The Heys, have released their debut album, youngbored&broke. The UK band has maintained an indie sound by building their own recording studio in a basement. Their studio also keeps the the four guys and their music less corporately connected and away from the dogmatic industry producers.

The Internet has been a fantastic outlet for The Heys, as their music has been featured on independent podcasts and radio stations.

youngbored&broke blends both classic and modern rock. Certain tracks, like "Pressure", make it hard to believe that The Heys are a band from the 2000s, and not the late 1970s. Although the music itself does have a classic rock feel, the lyrics are very modern, mentioning prominent issues in todays world, like obesity.

For a debut album, from a band who has kept themselves out of the professional recording studio, youngbored&broke is well put together. There is never a point where the sound gets sloppy; every single track stays in uniform and flows very nicely.
