Rob Younger is an Australian rock musician, vocalist and songwriter. He is best known as a member of the influential Sydney-based punk rock group Radio Birdman, which formed in 1974. After the Radio Birdman break-up, Younger joined the super-group, New Race, who were active in 1981. Younger also formed the New Christs, whose roots are born after the 1978 Radio Birdman split and after a harrowing multi-decade history, continue to remain active today.
Younger is also known for his production work, particularly with bands on the Citadel Records label; frequently teaming with Alan Thorne engineering.
Rob and Radio Birdman are also considered founding fathers of the Australian Independent music scene.
For a time in the 1990s he worked for Australasian Performing Right Association.

Is to steal the glory
From the great and brave,
Even more accursed
Than to rob the grave.”
