Ray Cappo from the fucking good group Shelter answered these questions in the mid of may 2001. Please read them and give yourself an opinion about the group.

Why did Porcell leave the group?
-He was having a kid-and also was married so he couldnt tour alot. I think
also we had differences in what we wanted the band to be. I think Porcell
wanted it to be more of a preaching krishna band and I that´s not how I look
at spirituality really any more. It´s not like one is wrong and one is right
theyre just different. To me things like spirituality are something  I keep
private or talk about only if one wants to know but im not really a
preacher.

What have the new members done for your sound?
-Well I wrote most of the songs in Shelter anyway. Porcell only wrote on
beyond Planet earth and 20 summers. Supergrass is just a great guitarist and
has good taste in music and adds cool layers and sounds..and has a great
voice for back up vocals. Sri also sings backups very well.

What´s the difference of playing nowadays and if you compare with the
beginning of the 90´s?
-90s was all metal hardcore...im glad thats over.

Any plans to reform Youth of Today sometime, what would make you do it?

gig, which five bands would you choose?
-SS decontrol, Negative approach, 7 seconds, Uniform choice and Tom Jobim

Which other comparions do you get in your reviews?
-I dont know any body that heard it yet.

The Hare Krisna thing, is it still living in your own world, whats the
best and what the baddest with religion do you think?

seperate from this temporary world. The worst...hatred between different
religous groups.
