Youth XL is a kooky garage-pop band from New Haven, CT. 
Crunchy guitars, tender harmonies, and charmingly irreverent songs about Tinder, yoga, and texting your friends.

“Fook the World Goverment!” Is a recurring theme in my life… I do read One Piece so we can pretend that’s the Only Reason, but I’ve been Against that in our world since before I ever read One Piece… so… <Insert Infowars Free Advertising? : D hehe>

I’ve been a producer and self produced artist starting with Drummer James Southworth & many friends of ours from New England… 
Then I’ve tried to move back to UK but I wound up talking to a lot of Big Names & some of their friends at whatever time…some Rock&Roll Veterans & people that ran clubs in Surrey where Jeff Beck would play a set facing the wall for a single Pint & The Roosters torched a church cause of something some other band did? …Mods vs Rockers stuff or unfriendly competition in Richmond in the mid 60s?? Members of the Stones & Pete Townsend’s kids’ house & people connected to other big British R&B & Folk were always interesting conversations or stories people’d start telling me… Always felt I’d Missed the stuff that made the place That Expensive! hehe 

But yeah that whole Mind the Gap Records operation didn’t go as I’d planned because of my folks removing me & not getting to meet with this lawyer to see if we could get visa stuff sorted and stuff to better setup indie label since we were already running it solo by ourselves and trying to get friends willing to publish…. And there are recordings that can’t be released of course, and more stuff lost to the times… 

Tried working with a few different crowds in London music scenes between 2008-2010… Played with Jigsaw Lovers with James Southworth my drummer who joined Babyshambles for less than a week before quitting cause of me and dating Amy our vocalist in Jigsaw Lovers… who was also younger sister of Zach from Special Needs from Cork if I’m remembering right… the “to the left, to the right- and around and around and around!” Single from the early 2000s… he’s a nice guy… but def recommend any projects Amy Stephenson or Zach are involved in… oh and Lewis Mortimer was a great Bassist and lyricist proficient with most instruments but not on the supernatural level James is cause of actual theoretical training etc. More Thought you know? I also knew some Great Australian artists like Tim Gummersal and also all the guys from Complete Radio Silence… Still talk to one of them every once in a while to catch up.

But then comes 2020, the year I’m still waiting to happen as  expected… 3 years late?
Instead bioweaponised-venom “viruses” & non-vaccine “vaccines” sold to people with loss of rights for those not willing to spread whatever the hells in that stuff, which I guess is now in all the water supplies but they add Hydroflurosilicic acid to the General Population’s water supply already and who knows how much mystery virus gets removed from cleaning the water in the water supply? There’s already a lot of drugs in their but now bioweaponised venoms and antivenoms that do Opposite things are ALL mixed in with the water supply too hahaha When do I finish the End of the World Album finally? Hahaha I mean it seems like the end of the world Hit Everywhere at least twice a week these days… <SIGH> Nothing I can do about it really anyway besides Say what I know half-jokingly half-no-93%-hearted speculative suppositions on the fate of Human Civilisation as a whole while they’re too busy fighting eachother on twitter over stuff Both sides of Most Issues have shockingly little understanding of, or how advanced ComInt has gotten in the 21st century…
“Like a Philip K Dick novel!” …No. Far worse because some of these dudes hired scientists that Read a lot of PKD… I recommend VALIS cause of how well it’s narrative get you in His head… man crazy people trying to help other crazy people is always complicated as hell innit?
