Dear Youth is a Canadian Pop-punk band from Montréal, QC who formed in December 2015 by Jared Zuckerman (vocals), Brendan Pilon (guitar), Jacob Saray (guitar), Eduardo Fonseca Arraes (bass) and Devon Cleary (drums) all with the similar interest of writing songs that just felt good.

The band released their debut EP titled, 'Over the Bridge', in October of 2016. The lyrics address the feelings of loss, the challenges of adulthood, coming of age and the changes that accompany these times. The name of the band reminds us to look at our own youth with dear nostalgia while looking ahead and figuring out what we are missing.

Dear Youth's sound possesses clear ties to the staple bands of the late 90's and early 00's as listeners can draw influences from Taking Back Sunday to blink-182. With a range of sad lyrical content blended with punchy riffs and melodic-radio undertones, the band has been able to bring this iconic sound to the modern age, packing its own punch and feel.

This past year, Dear Youth finished working on a follow up EP and recorded a music video for their new single "Fair Warning", with Montreal film-maker Sean Colby. The band also wrapped up their first Eastern Ontario tour with Waykopp (Pop-punk) from France last fall.

In March of 2018, Dear Youth announced they have signed with Anchor Eighty Four Records. The future is bright for Dear Youth with no signs of slowing down. The band has a myopic focus of playing as many shows as possible and sharing the music they love with anyone who cares to listen. Read more on Last.fm.
