Genre: Hardcore Punk / sXe
Country: USA
Youth Of Today is an American hardcore punk band, initially active from 1985 to 1990 before reforming in 2010. The band played a major role in establishing the «Youth Crew» subculture of hardcore, both espousing and evolving the philosophies of the straight edge and vegetarian lifestyles. After the band’s dissolution, vocalist Ray Cappo became involved in the Hare Krishna movement and formed the bands Shelter and Better Than A Thousand. Youth of Today is currently composed of Cappo and guitarist John Porcelly, both founding members, as well as bassist Walter Schreifels and drummer Sammy Siegler.
Aside from several one-off reunion shows, Youth of Today did a European reunion tour in 2003 with original members Ray, Porcell and Sammy. Ray’s friend Ken Olden from Battery and Better Than A Thousand filled in on bass. In fall 2010, they again started for a small reunion tour through Europe starting on September 16 in Lyss, Switzerland. A first-ever South American tour was scheduled for the first week of December 2010, taking Youth of Today to countries like Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. They played two shows in Russia and two in Oslo, Norway, during the third week in March 2011.
