Lost Youth has been through multiple line ups but was formed by the drummer and bass player who are still in the band!
They are a four-piece old school punk band playing the sort of music that still appeals to old and new fans such as The Jam, The Clash, The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, The Buzzcocks and The Ruts along with the odd modern tune such as Idles.

Together Against Discrimination
Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.
It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.
Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.
And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.
Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.
We will remember them
Cardiff City Football Club welcomes the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, based in Windsor, to our fixture against Blackburn Rovers.
Ahead of kick-off, the teams will be led out and wreaths will be laid by Warrant Officer Class Two Matthew Green and Warrant Officer Class Two Thomas Hiscock.
Kick-Off
Kick-off against Blackburn Rovers is at 12:30pm.
