Some of our most enduring rock and roll is built upon the following truth: Sometimes you have to replant yourself to find your roots. Nearly a decade ago, three of the four young members of Ithaca, New York, quartet X Ambassadors left home with great ambition, vowing not to look back. Like so many small-town kids before them, they yearned to find fame and fortune in the city. They wanted, as they confess in one of their most powerful new songs, to “   go big.”    And after years of hustling rock stardom felt imminent. But something was missing. Some bands never get that missing piece back, but the potentially great ones go looking for it. More often than not, the search leads them right back home. X Ambassadors’     stomping, syncopated full-length debut, VHS, is all about that exploration. Ironically it proved to be a journey — as the antiquated technology name-checked in the album’    s title indicates — through the past. 

Arrested Youth is the musical project of New York-born Ian Johnson, writing songs about the anxieties and contradictions of modern life.
What began in 2017 as a post-grad reckoning – captured in breakout track My Friends Are Robots – has evolved into a catalog exploring digital-age disillusionment. From his debut Fear to Sobville (Episode I) and his studio album Nonfiction, Johnson's work asks what's left when we stop performing for screens and expectations.

After touring extensively across North America, including shows with Twenty One Pilots, Johnson stepped away from music to focus on his health. That pause became the foundation for Too Late to Start Over, an album confronting lost time and the difficulty of beginning again. Arrested Youth makes music for anyone caught between who they were and who they're becoming.
