Brand new single from All the Young

Based in Stoke-on-Trent in the UK, All the Young is a rock band that first landed on the music scene in 2009 with an energy and ambition that felt unstoppable. Formed by brothers Ryan and Jack Dooley, their rise was rapid, within two years they were signed to Warner Bros Records and by 2012, their debut album Welcome Home had launched them into the national spotlight. Produced by Garth Richardson, whose credits include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine and Biffy Clyro, the record captured the band’s anthemic sound and youthful defiance, delivering a dose of British guitar rock that rippled across the UK and beyond.

Their early success was the stuff of dreams, All the Young took their fiery live performances across the UK and Europe, playing with artists like Morrissey, The Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-Fi and The Pigeon Detectives. They even introduced a young, then-unknown band called The 1975 to the touring circuit, attesting to their status as one of the most promising new acts of their generation. Yet, as the story so often goes in the volatile world of rock, the industry’s highs came with equally testing lows. The pressures of major label expectations and the relentless pace of touring began to take their toll and after a whirlwind few years, the band found themselves at a crossroads.

Following a period of reflection and side projects, including frontman Ryan Dooley’s venture with Faraday, All the Young eventually found their way back to the music that started it all. Reconnecting with their origins, they returned reinvigorated and more focused, determined to make music on their own terms. The current lineup sees Ryan joined by former Faraday members Arron Darlington and Mike Davies, along with new lead guitarist Tom Crompton.

Their comeback was marked by 2022’s Tales of Grandeur, a triumphant second album that once again confirmed their place in the modern rock sphere. The record’s reception was magnetic, striking a chord with longtime fans who’d followed their journey from the start. Selling out shows across the UK and Europe, All the Young proved that their output had matured and gained new emotional context.

Now, following the success of their recent single “Demons” and “Bad Blood,” All the Young return this autumn with “Something More,” recorded and produced by Gareth Nuttall, who’s previously worked with the likes of The K’s, Frank Turner and The Lottery Winners. It’s an epic indie rock anthem that distills ideas of determination, hope and belief in a better tomorrow into a spectacular musical experience. Driven by chiming guitars, a propulsive rhythm and Ryan’s impassioned vocal delivery, the track feels at once timeless and relevant, serving up the soundtrack for optimism in cynical times.

Commenting on the single, Ryan shares, “Something More is about rising above all the negativity in the world and believing that we can do better. Sometimes we can feel like it’s all just a waste of time but we are something more than that!” Opened by the bright strums of jangly guitar chords, the hurried pulse of bass ushers in the beat as the arrangement erupts with layers of guitar textures and driving energy. Dipping back the instrumentation as Ryan’s compelling voice rolls above, he crafts an instantly catchy listening experience that frames a melancholic context in an infectious and uplifting indie rock sound.

Packed full of lively guitar leads and punching drums, “Something More” sees All The Young serve up a dazzling slice of their incredible songwriting and performance talent. As they keep shining on their latest chapter, All The Young continue to write their sensational musical story while delivering utterly superb musical moments for a growing fanbase around the world.
