Up & Coming Pop Punk Bands | Lost Youth

For today's up and coming post, we have Lost Youth who hail from Scotland. The band have just released their new EP Thoughts On Last Year. We asked them a few questions to find out a bit more about them...

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Edinburgh, Scotland

HOW DID LOST YOUTH FORM?

Quite simply. We are four friends who were brought together by a love of playing and writing music. We were friends before this band began because we all played music together previously.

WHERE DID THE NAME LOST YOUTH COME FROM?

Our name came from the idea we, and all our friends, have had to grow up too fast, and now that we have hit 20 (minus Kieron) have had to leave behind adolescence and look to making a career and all that grown up stuff

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR NEW EP THOUGHTS ON LAST YEAR...

The record is something powerful in that all the songs really moved us. Each track, as it was written, was a stepping stone in finding who we are as a band. There's a lot about fear, and heartache, resolution and a little bit of nostalgia for good measure. The mix of all these things we feel has created something moving for us and we hope it fills others with the same fire.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG FROM THOUGHTS ON LAST YEAR AND WHY?

We all have different favourites based on our music taste and what ones really get us pumped to play

Never Again is Liam's favourite, in his words it's, "A sweet strawberry jam that get's me psyched." Can't be put much better than that.

Distant is Cammy's favourite because it's 100mph non-stop and he likes fast music you can dance around to

TWF is Jonny's favourite as "it's nostalgic and gives me some really good vibes"

Breaking Point is Kieron's favourite as the lyrics hold so much meaning, and also the fact it's a real head-nodder to play and to listen to

IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE THOUGHTS ON LAST YEAR IN THREE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE? 
Describing Thoughts on Last Year in 3 words? Easy! "Sweet Strawberry Jams"

IF YOU COULD PLAY A SHOW WITH ANY BAND WHO WOULD IT BE?

A Day To Remember.. we want a shot in the hamster ball so bad

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP FIVE FAVOURITE POP PUNK ALBUMS?

All - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, Blink 182

Liam - The Greatest Generation, The Wonder Years

Cammy - Dookie, Green Day

Kieron - Your Favourite Weapon, Brand New (does this count?)

Jonny - Common Courtesy, A Day To Remember (bit heavier but still v pop punk)
