Young the Giant, the indie-rock band who recently nabbed a coveted performance at the MTV VMA's as the sole non-pop, non-Top 40 act, will be Variance's October cover story. As an indie group in a sea of pop "giants," they are a rare testament in the music industry. After years of fine-tuning their craft and developing a loyal grassroots fan base, the band is now on tour with Incubus and has seen their self-titled album climb the Billboard charts and iTunes, currently sitting at #90 on the Top 200 (and #4 on the Alternative charts this past week). Other features in the October issue will include: Gym Class Heroes, Gavin DeGraw, the Australian favorite Cut Copy, Explosions in the Sky, Mat Kearney, author and blogger Jon Acuff, the YouTube sensation Karmin, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Twilight's Chaske Spencer, Switchfoot, a rare interview with the PIXIES, and so much more. The new issue lands October 1, 2011.
