The Young Veins Perform Songs from Debut Album

The Young Veins is the brainchild of former Panic! At The Disco members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker. Their debut album Take A Vacation!, which is out now, took root while Ryan and Jon wrote songs touring the world with their former band. When recently in NYC touring with Rooney & Black Gold, the guys stopped by and filled us in on this new project.

They also sat in to perform Take A Vacation!, “Everyone But You,” “Young Veins (Die Tonight),” and “Maybe I Will, Maybe I Won’t” and gave us the story behind each song.

Formed in late July of last year, Ryan and Jon used members of the band Black Gold to complete Take A Vacation! Many of the songs that make up the debut album, were original ideas for Panic! Once they decided to leave, they needed to then have the original sound change directions. Ryan and Jon’s musical upbringing and influences tilt more towards the sounds of Motown, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Soul and Garage Rock. Throw in the feel I get, The Byrds meeting Jellyfish, and you get the musical picture. A big difference from the grandness of what Panic! is.

Completing the touring band, Nick White (keyboards), Andy Soukal (bass) and Nick Murray (drums) join Ryan and Jon.

Take A Vacation! Lyrics

I need to take a vacation
If this is settling down then why aren't you here?
I want a big celebration the night we get back in town
And I hope you're all there
