Hold on Now, Youngster... is the debut album by British indie pop band Los Campesinos!, released in February 2008 on Wichita Recordings. It consists of 12 tracks, despite only 11 being listed. This is because "2007: The Year Punk Broke (My Heart)" appears as an unlisted track on the CD version, and as a C-side (the etched orange vinyl) on the double gatefold vinyl. It entered the UK album charts at number 72.
Initial critical response was very positive. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album was met with universal acclaim receiving an average score of 81, based on 29 reviews.
"You! Me! Dancing!" was released as a single on 4 June 2007 on Wichita. The song was number 72 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. The single version appears on the Sticking Fingers Into Sockets EP, with a rerecorded, slightly longer and slower version of the song appearing on Hold On Now, Youngster....
The song was used as part of a Budweiser television advert in 2010.
