First up, what\u2019s the Wild Youth story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are just four guys from Dublin Ireland who love playing music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>There\u2019s been a lot of exciting new music coming out of Ireland in recent years that doesn\u2019t necessarily have that traditional\/folky style \u2013 do you think it\u2019s a generational thing, or something else?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think there has always been a lot of music coming from Ireland that isn\u2019t traditional or folk. Don\u2019t get me wrong it\u2019s a huge part of our culture and you will always find amazing trad and folk music in all great Irish bars. That just doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean everyone plays it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who do you cite as your musical influences, and why? And what about your influences in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mostly Prince, The Beach Boys, Bowie, A lot of disco, Foals, Tame Impala, the list is endless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tell us something about your new single. Our new single is called next to you and it\u2019s about doing anything you can to be close to someone you are falling for.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a progression of the sound on our first ep, but in an organic way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You always have to try to keep it interesting and grow, right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is your take on the current state of the music industry? How has covid-19 affected you? How are you coping with the 6 weeks lockdown across Ireland?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I mean being honest it\u2019s super shit. It\u2019s hard. We\u2019ve had what we love, totally taken away from us. But it\u2019s also given us a lot of time to reflect and write lots of new music. We&#8217;re Spending time with family and loved ones but we miss shows terribly. and seeing our beautiful fans. So hopefully it comes back soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What question do you wish someone would ask you in an interview, but nobody ever does?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Honestly, just anything Fun. Quick fire questions because you can\u2019t over think them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Wild Youth online on their <a href=\"https:\/\/bandwildyouth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bandwildyouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bandwildyouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bandwildyouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bandwildyouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TikTok<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCOX63LO7eKdee4fPx-L9vZg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a>.
