The Young Scones

About

Formed in early 2022, The Young Scones have quickly established themselves as a standout presence in Toronto’s vibrant and eclectic music scene. Known for their bold rock ‘n’ roll sound and electrifying live performances, the band delivers high-energy sets that leave a lasting impression. Their music, characterized by gritty riffs and anthemic choruses, draws inspiration from iconic acts such as The Beatles, The Clash, The Pixies, T. Rex, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jack White, and Arctic Monkeys, among others. The band is a tight-knit unit of four friends: Gary McGuinness (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Brian Derro (Bass/Vox), Zac Lennon (Lead Guitar/Vox), and Marcelo Maltez (Drums). Their chemistry and shared musical vision have been key to shaping their dynamic sound. In August 2023, The Young Scones released their debut single, "The Son", a high-octane anthem that has been hailed as a "rock explosion." Its bold message—“Well, you’ve got a brain, but why don’t you use it, Son?”—captures the band’s fearless energy. The band’s debut LP, Guerrilla Tapes, was released in collaboration with Toronto-based Little Depth Records. The album showcases their raw, high-energy style and marks the beginning of an exciting journey. Their second album “Sconism” was independently released March 2025
