Black Suit Youth is an alternative rock band from East Meadow, New York.[2] Formed in 2004 under the original name The New York Dynamite with original line-up of Bryan Maher (Guitar, Vocals), Joe Hess (Guitars), Mike Madigan (Bass) and Justin Damers (Drums), the band recorded their debut EP with burgeoning producer Tomas Costanza (Diffuser, Band Camp, Disney artists). In 2007 the band changed their name to Black Suit Youth and released their debut album, "Our Future Is History" which followed relentless touring throughout 2007 and 2008. In 2008 the band brought in bassist D.J. Meisse to replace bassist Daniela Viteritti and released their second album on All Hail Records. The critically acclaimed Meet Me In Death Valley was released on October 10, 2010. 2010 saw the band touring and supporting Story Of The Year, Armor For Sleep and Alien Ant Farm.[3][4] 2012 brought another line-up change with Danny Kopij and Bryan Contreras replacing D.J. Meisse and Justin Damers on bass and drums, respectively. In early 2013 bassist Danny Kopij resigned, replaced by Eddie Christian on January 27, 2013. The band is currently working on a follow-up to 2010's "Meet Me In Death Valley," due for release in 2013.
