London-based Australian band Gang Of Youths have returned with their first new music in four years. 

Charlotte Ryan spoke to frontman David Le'aupepe about how the death of his father forced him to look deeper into his Samoan and Māori family history – and how he used that knowledge on the new EP and upcoming album.
