Young Love 'Too Young To Fight It' album

In the planning stages for years, Too Young To Fight It finally realizes the plans of singer/songwriter and frontman Dan Keyes to find the place where rock, dance and pop could co-exist. Young Love’s debut will arrive in stores 1/30/07, preceded by the first single, “Discotech.” “Attack! We keep it on the dance floor…Discotech,” intones the single, providing the first glimpse into the world of Young Love. Flirting with rock n’ roll and club attitude, Too Young To Fight It is pop confection that could fit comfortably into the New York underground rock scene, without ever emulating it.

Dan Keyes was a member of the Austin-based band Recover (This May Be the Year I Disappear, Universal, 2004) when he decided it was time for change – he took up a friend’s offer to emigrate to New York City. Demos and rough tracks in hand, Keyes made the move and soon realized that his unfinished songs didn’t fit in with any of his previous bands sound. The new tracks were danceable, unpredictable, poppy and thematic. They were, in essence, the origins of what would become Young Love.

The name of the band reflects the music, and vice versa. “Actually,” says Keyes, “a lot of these songs are just about nightlife, and the other half are about love. It all sounds really positive, even if you really listen to the lyrics and see that it's not always the case.” Ultimately, Too Young To Fight It is the break that Keyes has been working toward for years, to expose the music that’s been knocking around his head for all that time. “This record has been a long time coming,” he says. “These songs have existed with me for so long. I’m excited to get them out there. And I hope people get excited by them: I feel like I'm just the instrument to give the songs to everyone.”
