Young Guns: one of the best bands around right now

Aloha amigos

I'm not Spanish I'm pretentious....

But I was sitting in my bedroom today, after having suffered a major emotional shock that I won't go into today but I may share the traumatic experience some day, and I was listening to my music, and I just had to express my love for Young Guns.

The band Young Guns, not the movie, although I do love the movie too.

I think Young Guns are one of the most underrated amazing and talented bands in the world. Words could literally not describe how much they mean to me, and yes I say this about every other band, but the two bands that I really mean it for are All Time Low, and Young Guns. I've already dedicated a post to ATL so I thought that it's time I rambled on about how much YG mean to me.

They are so amazingly talented, there are no two ways around this fact. Yes, people have their own opinions about bands they like and I'm not out to change that, but you can't deny these guys talent. Just watch this video, okay!

I remember listening to this song in January after I'd heard about Young Guns a few months back but never really had the opportunity to listen to properly and thinking that this was one of the best rock songs to come out of England in a long time. And it really is, and now look at it, doing so well in the US.
Not gonna lie when I heard they got number one in America I was so so so happy! I felt so proud of them, and proud of myself for finding such good music!
I say they're underrated, because they are... a little, not that many people know about them, even tough they did get a number one, but still...

I don't really know where I'm going with this so here's a list of the reasons why I love Young Guns:

• they're so funny! I don't understand, but pretty much all band members in the world are hilarious... I dunno, but my theory is that they all go to some kind of band boot camp where they learn about things like jumping on stage, head banging, and being funny.... YG were just one of the ones who excelled the most at the most at this so-called boot camp. Simon and Ben obviously got A's in the 'funny' class and Gus got an A is his jumping around on stage... seriously watch one of their live performances and ask yourself this question: how the fuck does he do that? I get tired just casually walking up the stairs...
• their live performances are kick ass. I don't know of many bands that perform like that live, and they're happy to play small and big venues which I love love love love love love!! And it hurts, it physically hurts that I haven't seen them live, even though they came to a city so close to me :'(
• they put their heart and soul into their music. No joke, but you can literally see the passion they have for the music they make and listen to and I love it because you can tell that they're so happy to be doing what they do
• Gus is a major reader, from what I've gathered, and I love that, because so am I! And I just wanna meet him and discuss all our book collections and I wanna get book recommendations from him and it'll be awesome! (that being said they all hate Harry Potter and my heart sank a little because THEY'RE WRONG. NO ONE CAN HATE HARRY POTTER AND THEY'RE JUST WRONG. I respect everyone's opinion, but HARRY POTTER IS NOT AN OPINION IT IS A FACT!)

( Also, Ben is a Liverpool fan but I tend to ignore that fact and pretend that he's a United fan in my head, Gus is a Chelsea fan but that doesn't irritate me as much....)

Young Guns are one of the most amazing bands in the universe, and people need to check them out!!
Start with Bones (video above) then listen to Crystal Clear, Dearly Departed, Towers, and Weight of the World, which are some of my favourites
I wish I'd done this post earlier and I could have told everyone to go vote for Young Guns as Best British Band in the Kerrang! Awards but I didn't :(
But oh well... there's still about an hour so GO GO GO GO
