Yungblud — Dominic Harrison — grew up in Doncaster in a family that ran a chain of guitar shops, started making music at 11, and worked briefly as a TV actor before any of that turned into an actual career; Weird!, his 2020 sophomore album, is the one that topped the UK charts and turned "Black Hearts Club" into an actual fanbase with a name, not just a hashtag.
He's kept topping UK charts since — a self-titled third album, then Idols, and its 2026 sequel Idols II — built on the same mix of aggressive guitar and unusually candid lyrics about mental health and political disillusionment that's defined him since the beginning, largely unchanged even as the production around it has gotten bigger.
