All The Young - Another Way

All The Young are set to release their new single ‘Another Way’ on Friday 6th March. The single was produced by Gareth Nuttall (The K’s / Frank Turner).

Rock ‘n’ roll bands write songs about carnage and chaos, grow up (a bit), and sonically peter out. They don’t up the sonic mayhem and write about addiction, let alone land you in the heart of its consuming power.

Not All The Young.

Spiritually, Oasis and BRMC have always been in the bands' soul, but sonically, this feels like the first time they’ve leaned into their work to enhance theirs. The spite and venom of Liam Gallagher linger throughout Ryan Dooley’s vocal, as the hypnotic ‘Columbia’ is given a punk makeover at points. The devilment at play on BRMC's second album, ‘Take Them On, On Your Own’ presides over the guitars here too.

The sound is a visceral reflection of the life they once embraced and now reckon with. It may only be February, but it’s hard to imagine a more devastating opening line landing this year.

“I think I know you well / the push and pull, the ring of the bells / is there a better time / I think I better know your name”

Frontman Ryan Dooley’s ability to shift from a man out of control to one of peace is masterful. The verses are beset with bravado and a man on the edge, whereas the chorus vocal hits a euphoria as our protagonist begins to change his ways.
