Lostboy is a socially aware UK band that with
the vocal and instrumental skills to attract attention to the causes they champion
in their music. The video for their song “Self(ish)” references CALM (Campaign Against
Living Miserably) and notes:
Every week 125 people in the UK take their own
life.
75% of all suicides are male.
We all feel a little lost sometimes.
Let's talk about it.
“Self(ish)” was motivated by the mental
health battle waged by a friend of frontman Max Clutterbuck. Alongside
Clutterbuck, lostboy is made up of Jack Berry (lead guitar), Henry
Robinson (bass) and Ethan Reeves (drums), coming together as a band
via secondary school, a shared love of classic post-punk/new wave and the
motivation to speak up for a generation’s pain and desires. The band is based
in Sheffield, UK.

That's great to see that people are talking about because it's not. You can be guaranteed if the gender ratios were reversed, you'd never stop hearing about it. It's a tragedy throughout the West. The figures and ratios are just as bad in the US, Canada, Australia, everywhere.
