Welcome to Younghollywood. com.

Young Hollywood

What's up Young Hollywood?

Young Hollywood

I'm Tatiana Diana.

Young Hollywood

We're hanging out with hot shell Ray, better known as HCR.

Young Hollywood

There's a really crazy story behind that.

Young Hollywood

You want to tell us how you came up with that name?

Guest

There is a crazy story.

Guest

Um, it started with a MySpace stalker of ours.

Guest

She stole some pictures from a model, put it on her profile, said her name was Shell Ray, looked really hot till we found out it wasn't her.

Guest

You think it's a hot chick and then she's like 47 and really not.

Guest

Or maybe it's that Steve probably, no, Charlie.

Young Hollywood

So you guys have some musical blood in flowing through the veins.

Young Hollywood

You guys want to tell us about that?

Guest

Both, actually all of our all of our parents were musicians.

Guest

We kind of just grew up in musical households and um, you know, we're never really pushed to do music but it's when you're constantly around it, you kind of absorb it and it just becomes a way of life, growing up with guitars and, you know, pianos around and, you know, studios that you can kind of like go see how stuff works and see how production works and you know, know everybody's role is.

Guest

Then it kind of gets you into the bug of having to do something musical.

Young Hollywood

So you're all from Nashville.

Young Hollywood

It kind of seems like a lot of musicians come out of Nashville.

Young Hollywood

Do you guys know why that is?

Guest

It's definitely a great scene for rock bands.

Guest

I mean, Paramore came from there, Kings of Leon came from there.

Guest

There's a lot of bands that have broken out of there and I don't know, maybe it's just the second generation of people that are growing up there and it's it's just turned into kind of a rock and roll town now.

Young Hollywood

So tell us about your new album.

Young Hollywood

Um, first off, tell us the name of the album.

Guest

It is Love Sick Electric.

Guest

We are super proud of it.

Guest

We worked on it, I mean, since Arkan and I met, we've been working on songs for it.

Guest

Throwing out 20 at a time, written 20 more.

Guest

I think we got to like 60 or 70 before we chose the, you know, 11 that are on it.

Young Hollywood

If you were to describe the sound of the album, how would you say it sounds?

Guest

Well, I I think the best thing that sums it up is basically pop rock with uh dance beat elements.

Young Hollywood

Who's the best dancer?

Young Hollywood

Who's the worst?

Guest

Who's the question.

Guest

Who's the best and who's the worst?

Guest

Because none of us are good, so if we eliminate I think that's the same person.

Guest

I've never actually ever danced with anyone in my whole life and I plan to keep it that way.

Guest

He's the best dancer.

Guest

Look it up on YouTube.

Guest

I'm a little bit scared of dancing.

Guest

Oh, it's a cool thing.

Guest

See, there you go.

Guest

That's that's seriously probably the most dancing I've done.

Guest

These guys are a little bit better.

Guest

We're we're pretty awful, but it's fun, so.

Guest

Thanks Young Hollywood for coming and hanging out with us at rehearsal today.

Guest

Uh look for the record Love Sick Electric in stores now.
