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:

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
