ew wave revival mix of Young Love, Keyes fronted the post-grunge band Recover. The Austin, TX, quartet released three albums between 2001 and 2004 that brought them a devout underground following; their final album, This May Be the Year I Disappear, was released by Universal. Around this time, and despite the buzz surrounding Recover, Keyes was searching for a change, and a chance to move to New York City was exactly what he was looking for to make a fresh start. Young Love was born within months and a deal with Island Def Jam surfaced before the close of 2005. While putting the finishing touches on his debut album, Young Love joined Stolen Transmission Records for a three-week residency at the Annex in New York City in summer 2006. Additional dates opening for Head Automatica followed in August and September, which led into the fall release of the Discotech EP. All of this activity effectively prepped audiences for the eventual release of Young Loves full-length debut, Too Young to Fight It, in late January 2007.
