Year Long Disaster
Los Angeles, CA
Label - Volcom Entertainment

 I’m a huge fan of LA based Year Long Distaster. I was introduced to their music after I pulled a Volcom videocast off itunes last month of a skateboard skill comp set to their hit track ‘It Ain’t Luck’. Very rad stuff. Someback ground on these cats. Lead vocal and guitrist Daniel Davies is the son of Dave Davies of The Kinks. Born in London, Daniel spent the first nine years of his life on the road touring with the band. Shortly thereafter his family moved from London to Los Angeles. From what I understand Daniel liked to party…h-a-r-d-c-o-r-e. In 2003 he met Bassist Rich Mullins a founding member of the instrumental hard rock band Karma to Burn while perusing the aisles of a local liquor store. Mullins penchant for partying was apparently as strong as Davies and the two became good buddies and roomates at Music Cares Foundation’s rehab clinic. Almost a year later, Davies and Mullins were hanging out at Scene Bar in Glendale, Ca where they met, unbeknownst to them, then Third Eye Blind Drummer drummer Brad Hargreaves. From there the rest is history. The trio formed Year Long Disaster, signed on with Indie label Volcom Entertainment and cut their first album. Their debut album is due out in September 2007 and will be available at Volcom Entertainment.
