videos of importance.

Rapid Youth - Triumph from Family Time on Vimeo.

when we played with meth teeth at the hickey underworld. song is called triumph, it's a bit different now so this is the only way you will ever hear this version of it.

Rapid Youth - Foxtails from Family Time on Vimeo.

Rapid Youth-Damaged Health from Family Time on Vimeo.

SELL OUTS

Our 4 way split is sold out from paradise vendors, but we still have some so come N get them from us at shows or if we ever hang out. you can call us if you want. we have a radicool show on November 2nd with contemporary talent bipolar bear and no paws (no lions). then we are then going to record our album cause it's going to be better than any other albums and samily time is going to rent the place out for a day for us, but really we are going to use that money and buy heelys for our new live show and record it in a bedroom cause we are keeping bedroom pop alive (JK). we also are like almost done with our song for our blessure grave split (yeah we finally did it and yes it is still going to happen i think). it's metal as fuck, not like any cool black metal stuff but like iron maiden or judas priest. family time comp comes out this month and we all have like multiple songs on this piece, so buy it from family time or you can get it from any of us. have a safe halloween.

paix out dudes!

brent m. out

FUCK DUDE WE NEVER UPDATE THIS SHIT

we have a four way split with graffiti island, male bonding, and old blood that came out, our song is the second song on the A side called forever losing. the rest of the bands are jammers. you should buy it cause it looks really nice, we have like 15 copies or something so get one from us or i think you can still get one from paradise vendors inc at the following link

PARADISE VENDORS!

also we just played cochina fest in claremont, ca pretty much acoustic. it was so fun, the bands that played were so good especially serow who took on an epic journey and guitarded. our set list was:
hybrid moments
romeo's distress
in the trench, drenched
damaged health
beesting
bleach bliss summer
ceremony

we might incorporate some of these covers into our repetoire.

it looked something like this (notice lou doing this devilock in the background, sam thought this was really funny)



in other news we are going to start recording some new songs we have which are probally our best yet WOO. we also have some shows in the near future you should come to:

JUL 19TH @ THE HICKEY UNDERWORLD in long beach, CA with METH TEETH, CHRISTMAS ISLAND, and FAMILY BLANKET!

Levitate my dick like a jedi mind trick

So it's been a while since we've blogged n shit but that's only cause things have been so crazy (and cause we're lazy with this site). I guess ya'll know we changed our name to RAPID YOUTH...thoughts?? questions?? concerns??

Also we are done recording our two 7" recordzzzz that should both come out by early 09! (get pumped!!) It's a bummer that they won't be done by tour, but that's life. We'll have plenty of stuff to slang on tour so its all good. Speaking of which... we're touring the FULL west coast this winter with no paws (no lions) and are getting PUMPED. We don't have the official schedule finished, but keep checking if your in another hood and want to chilll hard with us in yr citay.

WE LOVE YOU AND WILL LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY FOREVER TILL WE DIE!
