College friendships blossoming into something more is not an uncommon beginning to a band’s back story. In fact, plenty of collegiate buddies have gone on to sell out arenas together through music. In a similarly hopeful but local vein, Y LUV may be on their way to playing together for crowds larger than any “Battle of the Bands” venues can hold. Freddy Janney, Sam Nardella, Luke Hanna and Marcello Dubaz are still enrolled in school, but we’ve got a hunch that their forthcoming debut, “How Chill Can You Let Go” (produced by Light FM‘s Josiah Mazzaschi), will pack in the punch to help spring them forward. If any other songs on the EP sound anything like “All Night,” Y LUV should be able to carry great commercial appeal yet spin pop rock songs with inventiveness that reminds us of the first time we heard Arctic Monkeys. - buzzbands.la “I like the energy Y LUV is putting out. They have an interesting way of taking a fresh look at the typical rock song and turning it on its head enough to make it new again.” - Chris Ballew, Presidents of the United States of America
