Blue Youth

**Blue Youth** is a spirited Canadian emo/punk quartet hailing from Toronto, known for their raw energy and emotionally charged sound. Formed in 2017, the band—TJ Rounis (vocals/guitar), Ben Price (guitar), Jordan Melilli (bass), and Chris D’Souza (drums)—crafts cathartic anthems that blend introspective lyrics with punchy, melodic riffs. They’ve carved a niche in the underground scene with a DIY ethos, releasing music through Mutant League Records, including their self-titled 2020 EP *Blue Youth*, which features fan favorites like “Dead Forever” and “Heart Break.”

Whether thrashing through high-energy tracks like “Deaf Mode / Two Faces” or leaning into moodier vibes (see the cryptically titled “T.K.Y.I.T.H.Y.”), Blue Youth’s music resonates with themes of resilience and self-discovery. Their live shows are a sweaty, communal experience, cementing their reputation as a band that wears its heart—and its distortion pedals—on its sleeve.
