"Excellent songwriter."
- Rhonda Jones, Augusta Metro Spirit
...Great songs... a star in the making...
Paul Bugler - CD Baby
"Its like someone took an indie rocker, crossbred them with an American version of Oasis, mellowed out the music and put it on the radio... the songs have some really great lyrics like in 'Blue Sky', the words tell a great and almost sad but uplifting story - 'Silent prayers don't resonate/you've got to speak the faith/heathens hear you bend their ears/ and I breathe in your grace'. And there is plenty more where that came from. - Enigma
...Within Spin is a happy medium - a combination of rock riffs, tender tones and poetic lyrics. And with a voice as unique as Young's, it's worth hearing.
...sounds like an American Placebo...

.... Young produces fresh and beautiful songs without having them sound too sweet. He places apositive outlook on most of his tunes, along with the ringing, blurring guitars, and well-paced tempos that make each number seem to radiate and soar into the air.... Young is an extremely talented songwriter with a unique glowing sound.

What else do you want to know??
oh, yes - I was shot in the face 8 times in a drug deal gone bad - no, wait, i'm confusing myself with someone else. I am mick jagger's secret love child here to save the world with love and rock. Musically, we are standing on the shoulders of giants - there is something familiar in the sound, but the riffs and arrangements sound (and are) refreshingly new.
