Angeles, CA, December 13, 2007 – Yahoo! Music just announced Year Long Disaster as the winner of the latest Who’s Next?: Users’ Choice Contest.  Over the course of the last month, visitors to the site were asked to vote on four up-and-coming artists.  Year Long Disaster garnered a majority of those votes to take the top prize. The band was then invited into Yahoo!’s Los Angeles studios to perform two songs off of their eponymous debut album released on Volcom Entertainment on October 9, 2007.  To see exclusive video content, including an interview with all three members of the band - Daniel Davies, Richard Mullins and Brad Hargreaves - please visit:

Winning the contest comes hot on the heels of Rolling Stone Magazine’s ringing endorsement heralding Year Long Disaster as one of the Best New Bands and one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2008. 
 
YLD just returned from their very first European tour and garnered critical praise from critics and legends abroad.  Rock Sound magazine picked Year Long Disaster as one of the bands that will own 2008 and heralded “big old rock riffs are the backbone for this bad-boy trio.”  And Motorhead’s Lemmy enthused, “Year Long Disaster plays rock ‘n’ roll the way its supposed to be played!”
 
The band are currently en route to Hawaii for three shows in Honolulu surrounding the triple-crown surfing contest, then its home (briefly) for the holidays.  As soon as 2008 rolls in, YLD will hit the ground running with the release of their first commercial radio single and video. And, of course, the band will continue to tour, bringing their undeniable live performances to venues worldwide.
