Eastern Youth is a Japanese punk rock trio formed in 1989 in Hokkaidō. Their sound blends many different styles, and is especially complex for a three-piece band. Their lyrics express the helplessness of Japanese youths.[1] Their influences include Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, Stiff Little Fingers and Discharge.[2]
