Swing Youth release their infectious double a-side debut single
'Myself To Blame / Blade of Grass’ on October 12th. The band who only
formed in the spring of 2009 have been busy writing and crafting their
enthralling set above the music venue they run in Twickenham London,
where the buzz around this band and music scene is really building.
Word is spreading fast about Swing Youths fast and frantic live
performances and musically the bands influences from the postpunk era
are clear to see, the likes of The Cure, Siouxsie, Joy Division, and
X-Ray Spex are all in the mix.
The single will be available as a ltd edition CD, downloadable through
most digital outlets and streamable through Spotify. The official
video for Myself to Blame is now available to listen to and watch on
the Swing Youth YouTube channel

Swing Youth are a pair of brothers originally from Watford, Chris and
Dave Chanell and Louie and Jimmy Johnson. The band take their name
from the 1940s German counter culture which gave German youth the
freedom to express themselves in a National-Socialist society through
meeting in secret jazz and swing clubs.
Following the death of a former schoolmate serving with the British
forces in Afghanistan's Helmand province 50% of the single sales will
be donated to the Royal British Legion
“When we heard the news of Captain Tom Sawyers death, it really
brought it all home and made the on-going troubles in Afghanistan far
more real. The Royal British Legion do some amazing work to support
families of servicemen and so we wanted to give something back.
“We have since played some rock n roll covers shows regularly at the
Royal British Legion, its always busy for us and we are made to feel
really welcome within that community.
In the autumn Swing Youth will be continuing to build on the buzz
around their local area with a series of shows in both Twickenham and
Watford whilst also coming into central London.
