Cruel Youth
Cruel Youth, is a band fronted by Teddy Sinclair, who previously recorded two solo albums under the name Natalia Kills. In 2016, Sinclair started the three-piece girl band with her husband, Willy Moon. The band's first EP "+30mg" was released on September 16, 2016.
Cruel Youth sounds like The Ronettes on Oxy. Each song a narcotic lullaby, subtly laced with switchblade lyrics. A psychedelic jingle you might hear while waiting in line at a Western Union, or a laptop symphony soundtracking a car crash in slow motion.

Cruel Youth sounds like The Ronettes on Oxy. Each song a narcotic lullaby, subtly laced with switchblade lyrics. A psychedelic jingle you might hear while waiting in line at a Western Union, or a laptop symphony soundtracking a car crash in slow motion. It’s as if Phil Spector or The Beach Boys had bottled the pure essence of young love captured by their 1960’s sweetheart songs…years later to be uncorked, cut, cooked, and shot up as a quick fix for modern dreamers’ demand for instant desire.
Teddy Sinclair fronts the 3 piece all-girl band, joined live by guitars and keys. But when it comes to making records, there is visceral, unflinching approach that only Teddy could capture with her husband, fellow artist and songwriting partner, Willy Moon. After meeting Willy in 2013 at Universal Records, Teddy found an inseparable intimacy in their creative chemistry and the two married just a few months later. Formerly known by her stage name “Natalia Kills,” she unhesitatingly took her newlywed’s family name “Sinclair” in May of 2014 whilst legally changing her first name to her cherished childhood nickname “Teddy.” In the summer of 2015, she announced her new identity to her fans. And thus, Cruel Youth was born.
Far before the music and madness began, Teddy was born in northern England to a Jamaican-born father and a South American mother. She spent most of her early childhood visiting her dad in Wormwood Scrubs prison in London, writing him letters and poetry in between visits. It was during this process that she discovered her affinity for words and the hope and pain something as simple as a pen could possess. “My Dad was in and out a lot… but that can make you closer in a way because you appreciate the time you spend together so much more,” she confessed. Even now, after a recent conviction of international drug trafficking, Teddy still visits her father regularly at a maximum-security prison.

Mr. Watson
by Cruel Youth
I don't need money, I don't need sleep
I just wish my man would go home
Cause everything's funny
When it's just you and me
I'm tired of people asking
What I do when I'm alone
They spend the summer getting clean
But September comes and they fall like leaves
Oh what would I do without you?
What would I do without you?
Oh Mr Watson, I've been cheating on you
You're the only one to fix the stupid shit I been through
Oh Mr Watson, I've been cheating on you
You're the only one who knows my favorite color
And it's powder blue
Fuck all my friends
Tell me "Go get a job"
Bloody noses, talking so fast
Like an 8-ball ain't so wrong
All these problems ain't real
Til' I'm stood up or I'm bored
Check for powder, kitchen counter
Can't tell me this ain't real fun
They call their parents
Move back home
Go to church and pray for the sad sad girl
Oh what would I do without you?
What would I do without you?
Mr Watson, I’ve been cheating with you You’re the only one to fix the stupid shit I been through
Mr Watson, I’ve been cheating with you
You’re the only one who knows my favorite color
What's the point in being young?
So meaningless, without you I’m no good
With my big dead eyes, lost in your buzz
I realize that you’re the only one
Mr Watson, I’ve been cheating with you
You’re the only one to fix the stupid shit I been through
Mr Watson, I’ve been cheating with you
You’re the only one who knows my favorite color
And it’s powder blue
