I'm always
fascinated about how bands find their names because I had already
trouble finding a name for my blog and in the end it didn't come out
as creative as I wished. Your Version My Story were a lot more
successful there. Ben and Tom Price, two guys from Port Elizabeth,
started making acoustic music under this name and by adding three
more band members, the style of their music changed to a combination
of electronic and acoustic over the last three years. Current members
of Your Version My Story are: Ben Price, lead vocalist, Tom Price,
lead guitarist and backup vocalist, Dill Jones, rhythm guitarist,
Johnny Leyland plays the keyboard and synthesizer and Brennan Strydom plays the drums.
Whenever I review a band, I wonder what makes this band special, what separates it from other bands out there. Your Version My Story use the sound of a synthesizer and apart from Asking Alexandria I don't know another band who works with this instrument. Furthermore Your Version My Story is the first of my New Discoveries that has an acoustic song to offer: I'll Show You Hard To Get. I'm a big fan of acoustic songs anyway, simply because the voice of the vocalist gets most of the attention. Ben definitely deserves attention for his voice, he has quite a special sound and can be recognized easily.
Your Version My Story released four songs so far, three melodic, fast songs which remind me of Asking Alexandria somehow, and the acoustic song I mentioned before. After listening to the first song, Here To Stay, I was waiting for some more screaming but unfortunately there wasn't more (maybe on the next record?). This song is my favourite though, especially the beginning, I love how the instruments work together!

I'm
actually surprised by the fact that the guys are unsigned because
they're very talented, their songs are quality and I can totally
picture them playing at Warped! I'll definitely keep an eye on Your
Version My Story and you should do the same. Go download their songs here,
give them a like and follow!!
