WY Premiere: SondorBlue Listen to “Ashley Avenue” off their new EP

Charleston-based quartet SondorBlue live on harmony. Both literally and figuratively. On their new EP You Will Find Love On Ashley Avenue – dropping this fall – their vocals weave together so seamlessly, you’d think someone had laid one track over another. Listen to lead single, “Ashley Avenue,” a soothing, folk-pop reverie, and read our quick chat with the…

Watch Field Trip | Chile Vissla heads to the land of lefts and fine red wine

Chile is a wonderful place. The water is thawed-ice-water cool. The lefts run for miles and miles. Swell is non-stop. And the red wine of the region is pallet poetry. Vissla recently headed down to test out their new rubber, denim and jackets for fall. The results looks refreshing and warm at the same time….

Watch Guantanamo Baywatch’s New “Video” It’ll put a real big smile on your face

Guantanamo Baywatch know how to have a good time. And in their new video, “Video,” off Desert Center, the good time is alive and well and pretty damn contagious.

Who is Julian Klincewicz? Well, he’s an underground and prolific part of many things and the subject of an upcoming WY Artist Series

Julian Klincewicz has the kind of name you hope you don’t have to type out too often. There are letters in it that don’t spend a lot of time next to each other and sounding it out just aint gonna work. But it’s one I nail every time now. Without looking. Written and spoken. And…

What Youth is now Open Shop, hangout and see where we make all this stuff

Well here goes nothing. Again. We recently cleaned up the front of our office and made it shoppable. Meaning you can come over! We’re still getting the hang of it, but if you live in the area, want to buy mags, shirts, hear some new music, see what’s happening, maybe run into someone you know…

Listen to Dope Lemon Your new summer cocktail

Two parts soulful, coastal rhythms mixed with a dash of reverb coated vocals and a subtle surf twist, Dope Lemon reminds me of the bands I’ve always listened to – especially early Kurt Vile – while remaining current and fresh…

what youth recommends asher pacey in water over sand

Asher Pacey in “Water Over Sand” Asher Pacey used to make us want to do shuv-its, now he makes us want a twin

Asher Pacey used to be the guy out at Snapper who took an untraditional path. He was doing airs out at the pointbreak, he was doing shuv-its, he was gouging it where most would run. It always stuck out. Now he’s transitioned into a new chapter where he’s riding twin-fins about as well as anyone…
