SPOTIFY AMPLIFIES “ROCKTOBER” CAMPAIGN WITH UK BUZZ BAND YOUNG GUNS
LEAD SINGLE “I WANT OUT” NO. 4 MOST ADDED AT ROCK RADIO
BAND PLAYING MOSCOT GALLERY & MUSIC SPACE IN NEW YORK – “LIVE FROM THE SHOP” – OCTOBER 21
Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2014) – Spotify has added UK buzz band YOUNG GUNS to its “Rocktober” campaign, promoting the band across its most popular playlists. They’ll be spotlighting new single “I Want Out,” which was the No. 4 Most Added Track at active rock radio this week. Young Guns continues to make noise with “I Want Out,” which Billboard described as “arena-worthy” and which Alternative Press compared to The Killers. The track hit No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart in the UK and has quickly become the highlight of the band’s new live show as they tour the States with fellow Brits You Me At Six.
The tour comes to New York on October 19th for a show at Irving Plaza and on October 21st, Young Guns will perform a special acoustic set at the MOSCOT Gallery and Music Space as part of their “Live From The Shop” series. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit The MOSCOT Mobileyes Foundation, which provides free quality medical eyecare and prescription eyewear to those in need.
YOUNG GUNS recently teamed with Billboard for the premiere of “I Want Out,” the companion video to the band’s much-buzzed-about single, with PureVolume posting exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage: http://www.purevolume.com/news/EXCLUSIVE-Go-Behind-the-Scenes-on-Young-Guns-I-Want-Out-Video.
“I Want Out” is the lead track from the band’s much-buzzed-about upcoming album, which was recorded in Bath, England, produced by Steve Osborne (Joy Division, U2, Peter Gabriel). The track is available now on iTunes.
The yet-to-be-titled new Young Guns album is due in early 2015 and follows the band’s 2012 Wind-up Records debut and title track “Bones,” a smash hit that rocketed all the way to No. 1 on the Active Rock Radio Chart. While its companion video was amassing YouTube views by the millions, “Bones” had a remarkable 32 consecutive weeks of steady climbing, making Young Guns the new record-holders for longest unbroken march to the top. They also hold the distinction of being the highest-charting new band at Active Rock Radio in 2012.
Fans can catch Young Guns (lead vocalist Gustav Wood, guitarists Fraser Taylor and John Taylor, bassist Simon Mitchell and drummer Ben Jolliffe) playing “I Want Out” during their North American tour
