Our series of VB@H Live Sessions continues with Luton's own quiet riot The Looted Youth. Highlighting the importance of grassroots live music, while showcasing a different side of all our favourite artists, every second Friday of each month we’ll be bringing you some you’ll know and love and some you’ll soon fall for. So make sure you subscribe to never miss a beat. This time we welcome to VB@H HQ, The Castle in Luton, Ben Thompson, aka The Looted Youth, who blew us away when he returned from a three-year live hiatus to play for us at the same venue earlier this year. Here he delivers an intimate three-song set of two spine-tingling originals and a unique cover, featuring:

• Fault

• Run A Mile

• Too Sweet/Pumped Up Kicks (cover mash-up)

Between the performances hear Ben chat with his namesake, VB@H co-conspirator Ben Barry, so you can get to know a little more about this wonderful emerging artist. Find The Looted Youth at:

This project has been a big team effort by the following local talent: VB@H Live Sessions are filmed in and supported by the Vandals’ spiritual home of The Castle Live in Luton, helping to showcase our marvellous hometown venue as much as the artists themselves.
