Young Guns are set for their most successful year ever in 2012, having scored a Top Twenty album, toured with Enter Shikari and announced their own biggest headline show to date, playing Shepherd's Bush Empire on October 17.
In the midst of their rise to the top, we caught up with the band to chat about raising their goals as their popularity increases, why they struggled to tell the boys from the girls while recording in Thailand and how they weren't allowed to even look at Jon Bon Jovi while supporting him on tour.
