Manchester Dance-Punk trio YAANG announce their debut EP No. Adding experiments of German Motorik, French electro and Post-Punk Disco into their trademark brand of drum-machine’ing punk-rock irreverence, No reveals a band evolving. Recorded in Stoke-On-Trent last summer with Formal Sppeedwear’s Beck Clewlow, and mastered by Jesse F. Keeler of Death From Above 1979 and MSTRKRFT, the announcement is accompanied by the release of lead single ‘Til Morning Light’. Drawing influence from the pioneering 00s classics of Justice and Ed Bang Records, the track offers sci-fi observations on the gripes and misgivings ailing contemporary twenty-something life, as the band’s Davey Moore and Ben White explain:
“It’s a tale told from the point of view of a robot learning to let go, fighting anxiety and doing his best have a good time. Regardless of the opinions of others, opinions of one’s self, and the state of the world. “So dance with me through tragedy” is a lyric I think we can all get behind no matter what your situation is.”
