 What's wanting to be a replica of The Beatles, without a copy-cat music video to boot? Oh wait... THE YOUNG VEINS have released a music video for their first single 'Change' - and well like the song likes to remind you, I suppose - it's a black and white tie live-performance affair, that highlights the very different musical path that (ex-Panic! At The Disco members) Ryan Ross and Jon Walker now subscribe to. <insert change jokes> In a recent interview with Beat Week, Walker elaborates on their departure due to creative differences: "To elaborate on it, me and Ryan were really excited to work on new stuff, and we were working on new stuff. The majority of the album was written while we were still in Panic touring with them. So, it was more along the lines of feeling like we were doing something that was ours and not having much motivation or contribution from the other side. It was a really hard decision too because, you’re right, we were really close and we had a good thing going. [It was hard] having to walk away from Pretty. Odd. [Panic’s second album] which was the album I was part of (and even more so for Ryan with both of the albums, he had a big part in writing). With all that going on, I think at the end of it we just realized that our excitement kept growing between us, and it just felt like the right thing to do. It was a really daunting decision to leave all that behind because of such a silly concept as creative differences. It really was disabling for us as a band to continue doing anything that was organic and real. Walker also addressed the different musical directions of both camps: "That’s even going to be more so once both of us have albums out. The music really will speak for itself. And it is a weird situation because there isn’t really any animosity between us. We just haven’t really happened to talk. It was kind of a surprise to us that [Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith] would have continued as Panic! at the Disco considering the level of contribution that [Ryan and I] had to the band. I think that might have been the main reason for our break of communication. It was a really confusing time that there were so many different things going on. On top of it all, me and Ryan had this fire underneath us that we just felt so extremely motivated. We were having fun more than anything, and we doing what we loved doing and we didn’t want to loose that." The Young Veins are currently on tour with ROONEY and BLACK GOLD.
