Your first clue Brendan McCreary from Young Beautiful in a Hurry has nerd like passions is in the music. You can hear shades of Bowie (the strange spacey surreal 70s Bowie) and Queen fronted by the bizarre, almost alien like Freddie Mercury. Then you talk with him–as I just did–and you hear his rabid enthusiasm for Doctor Who (“run you clever boy”) and more an unquenchable devotion to making music. Brendan McCreary: who Chris Hardwick would be if he fronted a rock/pop band with a sweet infusion of glam.

Glam rock comes to life with the help of the fantastic foursome from the Los Angeles-based band, Young Beautiful in a Hurry (YBH). If the name enough doesn’t make you kick start your day thinking Carpe Diem! then the genre-mixing sounds of this pop/rock group certainly will. YBH formed in 2011 under the wing of accomplished songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Brendan McCreary. Other band members include Bryan Taylor on drums, Pete Griffin on bass and Chris Norton on keyboards.
Self described as “rock, pop - in that order” YBH is not just about feel-good music. Addictively listenable, YBH’s sound is easily compared to that of a modern day Queen: infectious, life-changing and with a little bit of innovative quirk thrown in.
And if we were to just gather the facts here, their songs have been featured on everything and anything, including 90210, Battlestar Galactica, and The Walking Dead, to name a few. - Tunezy

From The Guest Curator: How to listen to Young Beautiful in a Hurry. 1) Make sure everybody’s out of the house. LOCK the doors, don’t make a rookie mistake. 2) Push play. 3) Turn it up. 4) Dance…bonus points if you use a hairbrush for mic or a tennis racket for a guitar. Repeat step 4. This album has the allure of a trampoline, high energy good times await. Don’t be shy, get on! ~Sammy Younan - NewMusic Ten

Bio
Young Beautiful in a Hurry is a high energy foursome, dedicated to bringing you all organic thoroughbred rock/pop tunes, with a dash of glam you haven’t heard this side of the late 70s. Influences range from Bowie & Queen, with a little Elvis mixed in to sweeten the deal.
The music is the evolving work of accomplished composer, guitarist, and lead vocalist, Brendan McCreary. Brendan’s commanding vocals and musicianship have been featured prominently in the ground-breaking series “Battlestar Galactica“, as well as dozens of other projects including AMC’s worldwide sensation “The Walking Dead“. His original songs have been showcased in such popular series as CW’s hit “90210“, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles“, “Eureka“, NBC’s “Trauma“, “The Cape” and “Human Target”. His voice will be heard in 2013 on the big screen in the highly-anticipated feature “Knights of Badassdom“, for which he provides the singing voice of the main character. He was recently cast as a featured singing voice in SyFy’s upcoming epic series “Defiance“. He has contributed memorable theme songs to the popular webseries “Shelf Life“, the cult TV hit “Holliston“, and the feature film “Chillerama” in which he debuted as an actor in a starring role.
Known for his versatility and musical range, Brendan has toured internationally with the “Battlestar Galactica Orchestra“, and fronts “The Johnny Vatos Boingo Dance Party“, alongside reunited members of the iconic 80's band Oingo Boingo.
Young Beautiful in a Hurry formed in 2011 in Los Angeles. The line-up includes drummer Bryan Taylor, bassist Pete Griffin (Dethklok, Edgar Winter) and keyboardist Chris Norton (Zappa Plays Zappa). They have accelerated through their freshman year playing at venues such as The Roxy, Troubadour and House of Blues, as well as releasing their debut self-titled album “Young Beautiful in a Hurry.” They are currently booking new shows and recording an EP to be released next year.
