Cruel Youth is a band recently formed in 2016. Lead singer, Natalia Noemi Keery-Fisher, started the three piece girl band with her husband William George Sinclair. The band's first EP titled +30mg was released on September 16, 2016.
The couples first run in the music industry took place years ago as solo careers. William George Sinclair, better known as his stage name, Willy Moon, has been a singer and song writer since 2010. Natalie Noemi Keery-Fisher, professionally known as Teddy Sinclair, was also known as Natalie Kills when she was an English singer and actress previous to starting Cruel Youth.
Their first release, Mr. Watson, was uploaded to the band's Soundcloud in February 2016. Following this was the first official single released on April 15, 2016 titled "Diamond Days". The single was produced by Paro, who also helped write "I Don't Love You" which would eventually fill a place on their debut album. On May 20, 2016 "Mr. Watson" was released as a single and followed with a video the next month.
After releasing the album in September Sinclair took to their fans with the following statement:
" Finally, after months of playing and perfecting,
our EP +30mg is complete! And now we want you to hear it... With the EP comes our latest single, "Hatefuck", a buzzing ballad I wrote about some of my very lowest moments. Of all drugs, love is the worst. It seems to come with a set of handcuffs but not key. Some people hit rocky bottom, some people crash right through and keep falling down - that was me, and if what came out was this song then it was certainly worth it. I hope it means as much to you as it does to us."
With lyrics and music relatable to many people with different life situations, Cruel Youth's album is fit for most everyone. Songs such as "Mr. Watson" and "Hatefuck" have a slower, more emotion reaching tone where as "Diamond Days" and "Alexis Texas" have a bit more upbeat music.
With not much recognition yet, the band has recently released their second music video for the song "Diamond Days". The band is currently on tour and Cruel Youth is a name you will want to listen out for, as they have amazing sound and lyrics and I'm sure much more in store for us.
Cruel Youth is currently on tour with tickets available on their site:
