The Box
November 1, 2012
Young Guns' sophomore effort Bones is a savvy distillation of every major modern-rock act of the past decade, from Radiohead and The Strokes to Queens Of The Stone Age and At The Drive-In. Moreover, just about every tune here is an anthem (sweeping choruses, impassioned vocals, bombastic arrangements) performed as if the end of civilization is only 48 hours away. This sense of desperation is a bit much to take after a handful of songs, yet there's no denying the pop skills these London lads display on "Dearly Departed," "I Was Born, I Have Lived, I Will Surely Die" and "Towers (On My Way)."
Young Guns Vs The Box
You Tweeted your questions. We put them in a box. We got badass Brit rockers Young Guns to answer 'em live, on camera. It's time for another edition of The Box, wherein the band field such queries as "What is the weirdest gift you have ever received?", "What is the craziest thing you've witnessed in America so far?" and more. Lovely accents. Enjoy yourself.
