Arrested Youth has been busy during the quarantine, he announced Quarantine Sessions, an opportunity for fans across the world to come together and write songs. Arrested Youth has announced the final product of these sessions, the Arrested Youth & The Quarantiners EP, which will be released on May 29th.
Arrested Youth & The Quarantiners EP celebrates the beauty and creative energy that can come from such a dark time in our world and solidifies that the fans are what make music possible.
Ian Johnson, p/k/a “Arrested Youth”, started each session by producing a rough demo of music, then worked with fans via Instagram and YouTube live streams to create a song concept along with lyrics. Johnson would then come up with vocal melodies, and put finishing production edits with his friend and producer Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft.
