Electric Youth

Electric Youth, a Canadian synthpop duo from Toronto, Ontario, was formed in 2011 and consisted of Bronwyn Griffin (vocals, songwriter) and Austin Garrick (producer, songwriter, synthesizer, drums). The duo met during high school. Their breakthrough came with the release of "A Real Hero" featuring College, which was included in the soundtrack for the film Drive. The song, co-written by Garrick, was inspired by Chesley Sullenberger and the emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549. It received a nomination for an MTV Movie Award in 2012 for "Best Music" and was named one of Spin magazine's top 20 songs of 2011. In 2013, Electric Youth signed with Last Gang Records and Secretly Canadian. Their debut album Innerworld was released on September 30, 2014, debuting at number 13 on the Billboard Top Dance Electronic Albums chart. The album featured previously released tracks such as "The Best Thing" and "A Real Hero", and received positive reviews from NME and NPR First Listen. Rolling Stone included Electric Youth in their list of "Ten Artists You Need To Know" for 2014. In 2019, the duo released their second studio album Memory Emotion, which was nominated for a Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year.
