Citizen 18

In the summer of 2002, from the ashes of a government nuclear wasteland, a cesspool of religious bias, poverty, drugs, and an uncaring upper-class, a dying breed of our youth formed a sonic message for the higher powers of this world, "we wont be held down and ignored". Citizen 18 was born.



Citizen 18 is a motto for anyone who is pissed off about the fact that the government can expect you to go die for your country at the age of 18, but still not completely acknowledge us as adults. The government is a shroud worn by the American people. We are the dying breed of young people who still give a fuck about what direction that this world is going in. we didnt back down, we wont dance unless it is with an instrument and a prominent middle finger in the air for anyone who tells us to give up and get a real life.



Citizen 18 hails from Marion, Ohio. A small mid-western town of 40,000. It originally gained fame when a resident named Warren G. Harding gained the presidency of the united states of America, a man who would later be known as one of the most scandalous presidents in U.S. history. Marion also gained a reputation in the 1920s as a huge drug town when the mob frequented it. It would be known as "Little Chicago" for these reasons.



During World War II, army bases were built in Marion that would house toxic, nuclear materials that would be dumped, burned and buried in the surrounding fields of Marion. River Valley High School, where 3 of the members of Citizen 18 went to school , would later be built on one of these fields. During their duration in high school many tests were run on the soil that the high school sat on by the Army Corps of Engineers dressed in full body radiation suits. After these members graduated, these tests would prove that cancer causing agents were prevalent enough to close down the school and use a majority of government money to relocate to an entirely new location. Major national news broadcasters like CNN, ABC, and CBS covered the story.



This inspired us to look more in depth into the problems that our country faces and what we can do as our countrys future to change it. For us giving up and letting authority hold us down because we are young isnt an option. So we took our love of music and talent and created a way to speak our minds. Perseverance is our only option and we will do so until the day we die.
