The Weight Of The World.

In the Music World today, there is a lack of young talent from the British side of things. Whatever talent there is, goes unoticed and untouched. This was until a few bands came along and changed my opinion of this. Deaf Havana, Young Guns and Francesqa showed me a new insight to Young British bands and boy, are they here to stay.



Young Guns are a 5 piece rock band. They hail from High Wycombe and my god are they amazing. Their first EP Mirrors was released on the 22nd of June 2009 and saw little in the way of acknowledgement from the music world. Even though the track "Weight Of The World" was on this which is at the minute their leading single. Young Guns toured this EP and debuted new tracks in the last months of 2009 then went onto work on their 2010 masterpiece "All Our Kings Are Dead" which we will get onto in a second.



In July 22nd almost a year after the EP release Young Guns released their first full length album "All Our Kings Our Dead". The album went in at number 43 in the album charts and number 3 in the rock charts. An impressive feat for a band with no prior experience. The album spawned 3 main singles. Them being "Son's of Apathy", "Crystal Clear" and "Weight Of The World". Now once they had re released Weight Of The World it became a lot more popular with the public. Each track landed within the top 20 boosting Young Guns profile and landing them sell out tour dates with the band I mentioned Deaf Havana.


The band went onto tour with the likes of Bon Jovi and Lostprophets which increased their popularity with British, European and American fans all alike. The way they communicate with fans via shows is outstanding. The lead singer Gus constantly adresses the audience and makes them feel part of the band and part of something special. This can be seen by how the band took to Reading Festival Mainstage in under a year of making their first EP. A band with such talent deserves to be even mre recognised then they are.


If you my very few viewer's go out and buy All Our Kings Are Dead you will not be;
Happy
Sad
Angry at a waste of money
You will all be mystified as to how a band that is this good has not hit it big yet and how such a good talent from our own country is not more famous and acclaimed. But be the judge for yourself and listen to this quite frankly, astonishing album.

Young Guns say that "Devotion Should Be Owed Not Earned, Only You Determine What Your Worth". If this is the case Young Guns devotion to what they do and what they perform is unmatched. This band have determined their worth and its right up there with the best of them.
