Yesterday, Civil Youth partnered with Alternative Press for the World Premiere of their latest music video, "Between Me & You," exclusively via Facebook Live. View the official music video here. Singer Michael Kepko elaborates on the song and video: "We 100% wrote this song with the intent of it being a Top 40 Pop radio hit. To a lot of people, that can be misconstrued as 'selling out,' however for us it's not. Not only do we love Pop music, but the lyrics still mean everything to me. It goes back to conversations I'm having with myself and how I've changed from my younger-self to now. Every time I say, 'You,' I mean myself in a different time period. It also talks about how I'll take those fights with myself for the sake of you [the listener] being happy."

Civil Youth is the independent, Alternative/Rock band based out of Philadelphia, PA. Since their first show in March 2015, Civil Youth has toured nationally and is currently venturing on their 8th U.S. tour. What started as an outlet for lead singer, Michael Kepko, to express his anxiety and depression while living in Boston, has evolved into a cultural movement backed by a community of thousands of supporters who identify with Civil Youth's lyrics and music. Civil Youth inhabits each stage with light-up drum solos, crowd chanting, instrument swaps, and stage acrobatics. Between heavy guitar riffs, and poetic rapping, fans of all ages can find a way to connect with Civil Youth.
