On The Rise: Cruel Youth

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:

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
