PR reports: Only the Young have opened today's
music box, dumped out its contents, and have started replacing all of the
broken and rusted parts with innovative and inventive songs that will have
listeners singing along with the catchy vocals of their heroic choruses,
dancing to the steady kicks and cracks of the bass and snare, and feeling
like driving across the country in a car with the windows down until you
run out of gas as the intertwining guitars fire up the air.
In August 2007, with Josh Hogan on vocals
and bass, Johnny Royal and Alexander Drizos on guitars, and Cole Dalton
on drums, Only the Young set to create something aggressive, arousing,
catchy, and contemporary with their new music and agreed to share the excitement
and altitude they had found with everyone. Producer Lee Miles (The Red
Jumpsuit Apparatus, Puddle Of Mudd) of The Loving Loss began working with
the band in the studio and helped shape the singles from the Hollywood
Summer Sessions demos that are being released every few weeks with "The
Weekend" starting the rotation.
