I think that alleviated a lot of would-be stress. The atmosphere in the studio was very enjoyable, we had friends around helping and had a good idea on what we wanted things to sound like before we ever started recording.

IвЂ™d say Maybe about 4 months total though.ДЄny interesting tales from the studio? What was the atmosphere like? ItвЂ™s hard to say exactly because we never really sat down to just write for this album. How long did it take to write and record? Once we did find the other guys it started to feel like a real band. We had friends play what we couldnвЂ™t on the album but they already had other things they were doing on their own and wouldnвЂ™t be able to tour with us. The hardest part was trying to find a good band after the album was finished. We only had to write a few more songs after the split in order to have enough for the album. It was a smooth transition because Jon and I had been working on material all along. How did the progression move along so quickly? IвЂ™m guessing it was a smooth transition? That seems to be a fairly short time to form a completely new band, write an albumвЂ™s worth of material, get it recorded, find a label and release it. ItвЂ™s been just under a year since Jon and Ryan left Panic At The Disco. We caught up with him to hear about the process behind the album and what went into making it. ItвЂ™s hard to believe that frontman Ryan Ross is so young having written such sincere and well-crafted songs as those present on this album. The result of their musical endeavours since leaving Panic (Ross was the main songwriter of the band) are documented in The Young VeinsвЂ™ debut album вЂ Take A Vacation!вЂ™ Reminiscent of 60s acts like The Beatles and Beach Boys, the album is a summer journey of epic proportions and has the potential to become the soundtrack to anyoneвЂ™s summer.

After recently wrapping up their first headlining tour last month, Ross feels more confident than ever onstage. Ross and Walker are currently gearing up for a mammoth tour in June and July, including an opening spot with Rooney and a slot at this yearвЂ™s Bonnaroo. вЂњSo a bunch of our friends came down for the last song on the album, вЂHeart of Mine.вЂ™ вЂњ вЂњOne of our last days in the studio was on my birthday,вЂќ Ross recalls. RossвЂ™ girlfriend Elizabeth Berg (who sings in the all-girl band the Like) also pitched in backing vocals. When it came time to record, the duo assembled an ace crew of musicians to play on the album, including Rilo Kiley drummer Jason Boesel and Phantom Planet bassist Alex Greenwald, who co-produced the disc. and dissected classic California music from the вЂ™60s, from the Nuggets box sets to Phil SpectorвЂ™s Wall of Sound production. To cut Vacation!, Ross and Walker relocated to L.A. Tracks like вЂњChangeвЂќ (check out the live clip from an Atlanta show above) feature bright harmonies that call to mind the BeatlesвЂ™ вЂњShe Said, She SaidвЂќ while вЂњYoung Veins (Die Tonight)вЂќ feature chiming, Byrds-inspired guitar riffs. Over 11 tracks clocking in at 29 minutes, Ross and Walker deliver loose, garage-rock gems that come off sounding like a dusty 45 youвЂ™d find at a garage sale. But the resulting disc is far more raw than fans might expect - and thatвЂ™s a good thing.

With their debut Take a Vacation! (out June 8th), Ross and Walker delve deeper into the вЂ™60s pop influences they experimented with on the slickly produced Pretty. вЂњOnce we knew we were going to be doing this ourselves, it freed us up to do exactly what we wanted.вЂќ Odd., weвЂ™ve been writing songs together, so itвЂ™s been a gradual thing,вЂќ Ross tells Roling Stone. Odd., guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker formed such a strong songwriting partnership, they decided to soldier on with a new project dubbed the Young Veins. But some of the bandmates were clearly still seeing eye to eye: While working on Panic!вЂ™s 2008 release Pretty. Last July, emo-pop sensations Panic! at the Disco announced they were splitting up over creative differences.
