New Young Rival Video - "Your Island"

thumbnail icon: New Young Rival Video - "Your Island"

Last summer we posted "Your Island," a catchy pop song from Hamilton, Ontario quartet Young Rival, a band who'd previously tapped into the Zombies with the darker "4:15." They've since self-released a six-song self-titled EP and had Ryan Furlong direct a sea-ready video for "Your Island," which comes complete with romance, deception, intrigue, decent acting by the band (well, most of them, bassist), and a few inopportune leaks.

Take this version with you when you next go sailing:

Young Rival - "Your Island" (MP3)

Or guitar fishing.

Young Rival is available via iTunes. More info at their website and MySpace. A couple tour dates:

04/05 - Toronto, ON @ Sneaky Dee's (Wavelength)
04/18 - Port Dover, ON @ The Brig

I remember watching band in front of 30 kids in a vacant basement about 5 years ago when they were the ride theory. Glad to see they are getting some exposure.

Glad these Hamilton boys are getting out there.
