Damien Youth is an independent singer/songwriter/musician who works in a number of rock sub-genres. He has been a part of various musical projects including The Cosmic Cult Of Adam Strange, Featherbox, Kyte, Magic Island, Surprise Symphony and Walter Ghoul’s Lavender Brigade. He has also recorded with Peter Daltrey of the classic '60s band Kaleidoscope.

The common quality in all of Damien Youth’s music is his uncanny understanding of the melodic heart of the song, whether he is working in a British psychedelic vein with WALTER GHOUL’S LAVENDER BRIGADE, '60s influenced folk rock on the solo album SUNFIELD, or glam rock with THE COSMIC CULT OF ADAM STRANGE.

Offered the chance of mainstream radio success with FEATHERBOX in the '90s, Youth chose instead to head back to home recording tp preserve his artistic control. With the help of his partner Melody Fair, Damien has been able to integrate his life with his art to an admirable degree. They bought an old hotel in southwestern Pennsylvania and are converting the historic building into an all purpose living/practice/recording/art/ performance space.

One of Damien Youth’s intriguing recent releases is the ever changing ONANISMS. No copy of the album is the same as any other copy. The new solo LP A BOX AND A VEIL is due to be released soon. This collection of folk ballads and what he calls “pop fragments” is sure to further Damien Youth’s reputation as a versatile, talented song writer.
