The Young Veins

Having met the Beatles...

Remember in 2008 when Panic! At the Disco let their inner Beatlemaniacs run wild and free on Pretty. Odd.? That was nothing compared to the Fab-ulous spirit of Take A Vacation!, the Young Veins' infectious debut. Led by two former members of Panic! (Ryan Ross on vocals/guitar and Jon Walker on bass/vocals), they get things started with the psychedelic, Beatles-as-filtered-through-the-Monkees "Change." By the time the title track rolls around next, they've moved on to folk-rock with chiming electric guitars, some old-school organ and the album's most contagious vocals. "Cape Town" is "Please Please Me" as Phil Spector would have done it. The Veins switch it up throughout the disc--they push an acoustic guitar to the front of the mix for a moodier spin on folk-rock, and "Dangerous Blues" sounds like British Invaders attempting an R&B ballad. If you're looking for some indication that this was recorded after 1966, good luck with that. But give the kids credit for backing it up with hooks that do their sainted frames of reference justice.
