Music like All the Young

All the Young (formerly called 'New Education') is a five-piece alternative rock band from Stoke-on-Trent, England. Led by Ryan Dooley (singer/songwriter) and his younger brother Jack Dooley (bass/vocals).

Ryan and Jack started to play at school talent shows at the age of 12 and 13 covering recent hits of the time by the likes of Oasis, Stereophonics and Feeder, before hitting the local venues under various guises. They were then picked up by Warner Brothers after recording 2 demos ‘Today’ & ‘Quiet Night In’ whilst under the name 5th Action, with now acclaimed producer Richard Turvey (Blossoms, Courteeners), a friend of the brothers and someone who mutually came from the Stoke music scene of the late naughties; and gave the band free studio time in order to use the demos as part of his degree at Liverpool LIPA. Recording through the night for free, after the final session the band got back to Stoke and split up as all members aside from Ryan and Jack left. The brothers decided to rename the project New Education, loaded the songs onto MySpace and were contacted by Warner Bros to come and meet the label within 5 days. New Education cut their teeth on home soil, touring the UK for around a year before, most notably The Great Escape tour with The Rifles in 2009 before changing the lineup again, and rebranding as All the Young when new drummer Will Heaney joined. Winning them a 6 album recording contract with 14th Floor Records.
