Young Adults Against Suicide

Art-school dropout Matt Collins started Ninja High School as a reaction to hearing a Crazy Town song on the radio and thinking, 'this sucks! I can do better than this!' Originally a one-man project, after releasing the jam-packed lo-fi EP We Win in 2004 on Steven Kado's Toronto-based Blocks Recording Club, Collins assembled a crew and hooked up with blood relative/audio wizard Gregory Collins and went to work on new material.

After releasing their first acclaimed single for Tomlab in spring 2005 they now return with a little more production on their first full-length album Young Adults Against Suicide. Inspired by Public Enemy, Pavement, Jamaican dancehall, and Miami bass, Ninja High School (NHS) can be described as a hardcore band trapped in the body of an indie-rock dance rap group.
