what youth recommends music

WY Premiere: Moniker Listen to “Fallouts” and stream their new album

Moniker, the project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Scott, began as most bands do, with home recordings and David Bowie crushes and the insatiable thirst to create conceptual, story-driven albums. After the death of a close friend, Scott spent 2016 writing what would become the band’s sophomore album, Good Bye Waste Land, while teaching abroad…

what youth recommends brenda children

WY Premiere: Brenda Watch their new creepy video for “Children”

Toronto four-piece Brenda have been involved in the local punk scene since 2015.

what youth cluster surfing movie

We have Cluster Nostalgia Mitch Coleborn came over and fired us up for more of this

It’s no big secret that there’s still a scythe-toting grim reaper hovering over the formerly fun and care-free surfing industry. And it’s pretty easy to get caught up in that, as it does impact us all in some form or another (how we get our gear, watch our vids etc). But it isn’t as dire as…
