Runaway Youth
Presented by Tin Angel at Tin Angel June 1, 2012 Runaway Youth started in 2011, though we've been collaborating since 2007, when Chris asked Kyle to join a band. Chris and Kyle went on to play on a street corner in Avalon, New Jersey, until a man-breakup tore the band apart. Kyle went on to play with Ben and Ned until Chris and Kyle were able to make up. Subsequently, Kyle, Chris, Ben and Ned collaborated on an album in 2011.
