what youth recommends top 5 books holiday break

Books we recommend for holiday break Spark up a fire and put some words through your mind for the holidays.

The next two weeks are an opportunity. A break. A moment to find clarity and inspiration. For most of us, in between the family gatherings and trips and travel and chaos there is a year wrapping up, and an opportunity to squeak in one or two more books to our count for the year. And believe…

what youth recommends shaun manners epøkhe

Watch Shaun Manners’ Epøkhe Intro Family manners

Shaun Manners is from the same little zone as Creed McTaggart. So it makes perfect sense he’s joining Creed and everyone else on the Epøkhe fam. And how fun is he to watch? The wave-rich West Oz backdrop isn’t too hard on the eyes either.

what youth recommends top music videos of 2017

The Top 10 Music Videos of 2017 Do people still watch music vids? Well, we do, and these are our favorites from the year

what youth recommends the shrine never more than now

Watch The Shrine’s New Video For “Never More Than Now” featuring Keith Morris

The Shrine know how to thrash.

But turns out everyone loves this band, especially Black Flag’s Keith Morris, who recently…

what youth recommends chippas gone soft

Watch “Chippa’s Gone Soft” In a world full of soft top gimmicks: This is not that

Chippa Wilson is the reigning What Youth World Champ. And his performance on a Duo, in the new Epokhe movie, in “Hello, Sea” and his general demeanor has him pushing for a back-to-back title. This edit just proves that he can take something we’ve kinda deemed “fun” or “gimmicky” and turned it into a hammer…
