Hype can be a dangerous thing, especially when it comes to bands on the verge of making it, bands looking to keep momentum going without dropping the ball at that crucial stage in their career. Many disappointingly breakthrough, only to fade away soon afterwards, unable to capitalize on quick success, but occasionally, it all falls into place and with regards to YOUNG GUNS that couldn't be truer. With their last album, “Bones”, the British quintet were catapulted to stardom with Billboard chart success, bigger tours and even finding themselves picked as official artists for WWE’s 29th annual WRESTLEMANIA…it was all going perfectly, but the pressure was on…did they have it in them to keep this going? That question can be answered in 2015, as they've just released the much anticipated follow up; “Ones And Zeros”. Was it a lucky shot? Let’s find out…

The album somewhat appropriately kicks off with “Rising Up”; a hugely melodic synth-driven track of the catchiest nature…it’s got Young Guns written all over it. It’s mildly hypnotic yet makes a bold statement, sticking a middle finger up at any and all critics. They do things their way and they will succeed; a great start. “I Want Out” follows immediately and in typical YG style it’s an absolute banger. It’s got a huge chorus; gang vocals, massive hooks, it’s a brand new anthem and assured to be a hit at live shows, which can also be said for several of the tracks on offer here. “Daylight”, “Speaking In Tongues” and in particular “Colour Blind”, each of which sounding simply epic, so many potential hits here, it’s impressive!

Elsewhere tracks such as “Die On Time” and “Lullaby” prove Gustav Wood and co are to be taken seriously as the song writers they are, just as capable of evoking feelings as easily as they churn out floor-fillers and the album sounds all the better for it; they've got the balance just right here and the tracks flow smoothly from the moment you hit play, right up until you finish on the title track, which does the perfect job of really not being enough. You want more out of it, resulting in you finding yourself hitting the play button again. The question was basically, were Young Guns going to follow “Bones” with blanks…but they reloaded and hit the target with every round here. Ones and zeros better equate to album sales, and I mean plenty of zeroes because this album is big and success is more than deserved. [9]
