LIVE: Young Guns- Manchester Club Academy, 25/9/2017
Over the years Young Guns have seen their fair share of Manchester’s University building, as all of the Academy venues it houses. On this rainy Monday night though, they’re taking the stage down in the Club Academy. As a slightly more intimate room, it’s perfect for tonight’s mix of newer songs, complimented by a few …
Album Review: Young Guns- Echoes
After a three year break between their second and third albums- the latter of which came out last year- Young Guns have not messed around this time.

Live Review: Camden Rocks Festival, 4/6/16
Camden Rocks Festival as a whole is much like a live set from a band that is hotly tipped to have the craziest show.

Live Review: Young Guns, Warehouse 23, Wakefield, 22.10.15
While many people in tonight’s crowd are still wondering what one of the leading bands in the UK’s rock contingent are doing in grey old Wakefield, its nonetheless exciting when said city is almost religiously omitted from band’s touring cycles. Vukovi are essentially pop-rock infused with strains of indie- excitably inoffensive, they add a pop …
News: Young Guns announce October headline tour
It seems that after a couple of quiet years, Young Guns just can’t get enough of touring in 2015. As if touring throughout April, May and June with two American tours in between weren’t enough, the band then announced a few dates in July. Mid-June saw them as the secret band at Download festival, playing …
Album Review: Young Guns, Ones and Zeros
From absent fathers, a discontent with the places that have remained the same since childhood, as well as having much woe to channel into a creative form, all resulted in Young Guns’ debut album; the effortless, flowing and poetically weighted All Our Kings Are Dead. After that came Bones; slightly mellower but far bigger, it …
