Eastern Youth is a Japanese indie rock trio. Despite being primarily punk rock-influenced, their sound blends many different styles, and is especially complex for a three-piece band. Their lyrics, sung in Japanese, express the helplessness of Japanese youths. [http://metropolis.japantoday.com/tokyo/545/music_beat.asp] Their influences include Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Stiff Little Fingers and Discharge. [http://www.saka-sho.co.jp/main/main_frame.htm]

Career

Eastern Youth was formed in 1988 by childhood friends Hisashi Yoshino and Atsuya Tamori in Sapporo, Hokkaidō. The band moved to Tokyo in 1990. In 1995, they put out their first release on their own record label, Sakamoto-Shoten: "Kuchibue Yofuke-ni-Hibiku" ("A Whistle Rings Through the Midnight Street"). Within the next 5 years, Eastern Youth became legendary to the Japanese indie rock scene and in 2000 they played in the United States for the first time, largely broadening their popularity. They continue to tour in the United States, often with the support of the Saddle Creek band Cursive, with whom Eastern Youth split sides on 2003's "8 Teeth to Eat You" EP.
