Youth In Conflict

Youth In Conflict did not come together on purpose, rather on accident. Ethan Griggs had just moved to Denver from the Roaring Fork Valley in 2008, and he was thirsty for bands to play with. After a short run with a middle school band, he decided to pursue music as a solo artist. He came upon an ad for a competition hosted by 1 Liquid House, a youth group for musicians. Isaac Slade of the Fray would be the judge of this competition, and after a brief audition process, Griggs was given second place. When the competition came around the next year, he knew that he'd have to pack more of a punch. He hastily tried to recruit musicans, all which would eventually back out on him. He finally found Raven Maynard drumming for Red Line, and would later get an email from David Leonhardt in response to a Craigslist ad. How about them apples!? After being donned the third best teen band in Denver by Isaac Slade, YIC now regularly performs around the Denver area. R.I.P.
