As soon as he was drawn to music as a teenager, George Clarke had an eye for the extraordinary, the outlandish and the unabashedly heavy. It would come to reflect in the music that he made himself, most notably coming to fruition in the form of Deafheaven. Four albums deep, the Grammy-nominated band are one of metal's most divisive and engaging acts - and they've never compromised their vision for anyone or anything. So, how did this awkward Californian kid become one of his genre's most confident and alluring frontmen? Before a show at Sydney's Manning Bar, Clarke spoke candidly and extensively on Deafheaven's rise to the top.
With thanks to Dan Stork, Cat Clarke, Cooking Vinyl Australia and Adam Buncher.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
