Young the Giant was formed in 2004 in Irvine, California. They originally went by the name ‘The Jakes’ but after a few member changes, they took on the name ‘Young the Giant’. The band’s line-up consists of Sameer Gadhia (lead vocals), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass guitar), and Francois Comtois (drums). They were signed by Roadrunner Records in 2009 and released their self-titled debut album in 2010.
