Young Hegelians are a Teesside based post punk trio of guitar bass and drums. Founded in 2009, they combine new wave guitars and fuzz with a dark jazz/math rock influence. They are influenced by the Stranglers, XTC, and Talking Heads but the left leaning lyrical content places them firmly in the ground inhabited by Manic Street Preachers, Gang of Four, Billy Bragg and Future of the Left.
