Indie/Britpop four-piece from Stoke-On-Trent, yet to bring out their debut album, but released three singles last year, 'The First Time' in February, 'Welcome Home' in May and 'Quiet Night' in October. They have so far toured with Morrisey, The Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wombats, Hard-Fi and Pigeon Detectives. They recorded their debut album (also called Welcome Home) in Vancouver, Canada with recording-supremo GGGarth Richardson, who in the past has produced the likes of Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Biffy Clyro and You Me At Six, to name literally but a few. Previously known as New Education, they are the band of 2012 trying to make Britpop chart worthy again, whilst looking a bit like a Madness tribute band. Their tunes aren't too bad and easily listenable, but nothing ground-breaking. They appeal to 'lads' with at least one pint of lager in hand.
What They Say
"After a year when guitars all but vanished from British primetime radio sets, there's a need for a band with the brains, brawn and balls to take 2012 and smash it into a brave new frontier of indie rock 'n' roll."
What Others Have Said
"All the Young are, let's not beat around the bush, this year's Viva Brother. Whether they will be next year's Viva Brother remains to be seen. But they are certainly the band who are most determinedly trying to rescue music from a supposed flood of inferior pop, urban and R&B, the ones aiming to reassert the primacy of the traditional vocals/guitar/bass/drums northern four-piece." - The Gaurdian
Line Up
Ryan Dooley (Vocals, Guitar), David Cartwright (Guitar), Jack Dooley (Bass), Will Heaney (Drums).
