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.

“By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman? Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers, and looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.”
—Apocrypha. Zorobabel, in Esdras I 4:22-24.
“Old Abe is much better looking than I expected & younger looking. He shook hands like a good fellow—working hard at it like a man sawing wood at so much per cord.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
