Music Review #1: The Filthy Youth

In a new frontier of music, there is always one specific artist or group of artists that can bring a new and discovered sound, yet still have a nostalgic appeal. And for my first music review on Spectrum, I would like to point the focus on The Filthy Youth. With a major influence from the 1980's punk era, and the current indie resonance of 2009, the group can effortlessly alter one's perception of alternative music. Think of the group as a hybrid of Bloc Party and The Ramones. One can identify Youth's frontman as Ed Westwick, the thespian behind Gossip Girl's character, Chuck Bass. The Filthy Youth's single "Le Soleil" is featured on Spectrum's music player.

Carpe Diem,
