Black Suit Youth is a high energy, alternative/ post punk rock band from Long Island, New York. Formed in 2004 under the original name The New York Dynamite, the band recorded their debut EP with burgeoning producer Tomas Costanza (Diffuser, Band Camp, Disney artists). The “Dynamite” spent the next two years touring the East Coast and Mid-West incessantly in support of the ep. Months on the road transformed the band into a cohesive unit and a punishing live act. While on tour and at home they sold over 1,000 copies of their debut cd-r EP.
The year 2007 brought with it a name change and a new album. In summer 2007, the band, now called Black Suit Youth, released Our Future is History. The record featured six explosive new tracks spliced with the former six song EP. The album was released on ITUNES on November 13th. Black Suit Youth booked a late summer tour to support the record. They stormed venues from Boston to Tallahassee, making fans, making friends and selling trunks full of BSY merchandise along the way.
Black Suit Youth has gotten strong reviews in local and online publications such as Good Times, punkrock.net, Aural Fix, adequacy.net, etc.... . They’ve also been featured in independent films, online television, and podcasts. In addition, BSY played the national launch party for the Boston based Skope Music Magazine. Long Island’s radio 94.7, Radio X, is a staunch supporter of the band, adding their single, Dropout to their rotation.
October 28th will finally see the release of the Black SUit Youth's "East of Eden" ep. It will be available exclusively online.
Currently Black Suit Youth is writing a new record to be recorded in 2009 and has previewed a new single called "Hot Summers In Hi-Fi"on ourstage.com
"Black Suit Youth has a strong do-it-yourself ethic. They are a “live” band that engages and connects with any and every audience they perform in front of. They don’t believe in stopping for anything and thus, they have toured multiple times. Currently the band is writing and recording a follow up to Our Future is History. The first single, “It Takes Two To Strangle” was released online exclusively in late December to give fans a taste of the new material. It is an understatement to say that their following is ripe with anticipation for the new record and its late Summer 2008 release." —Michael Sonbert
"Their sound is distinct as well as catchy and memorable"
—Claire Schuster Delusions of Adequacy
"They’re also Fucking Great!"
—Goodtimes Magazine
"Vocalist Bryan Maher has a mildly deep voice rich in sincerity, but lacking in cheese. And with a lot more exposure, you might just see these guys singing a ballad in their latest, desert-themed music video. But this time, you won’’t be ashamed to know all the words." —Absolutepunk.net
"Fuse would probably fall in love with Black Suit Youth" —Smother.net
"You guys had the most plays ever for the Featured Artist of the WEEK!" —Jeremy Local Promo Northeast
"They have what it takes and their fans know it"
—Aural Fix Magazine (Dec 07 cover story)
"The fact of the matter is that in a day and age where many hard rock bands have converted to Creed-esque balladeering in order to gain radio air play, Black Suit Youth is making music to please themselves. In the process they may have made a CD of incredible commercial potential." —Wildysworldblogsot.com
