This weekend I shall be in Leeds again for the Live at Leeds event, so to get ourselves so excited about the band Yak here they take today’s Track of the Day slot.
The first song released from their forthcoming EP ‘Plastic People’ Yak are starting to hit all the notes we said they could as they live up to the hype and murder the naysayers. ‘Smile’ Catalogue Yak next to Fat White Family but be careful, with that much grease, scuzz and electricity in one area you are bound to have a fire hazard.
‘Smile’ is a slithering sex-pest of a song as it snakes its way across the glass-shimmering dance-floor it reeks of cheap aftershave and the underlying stench of fear permeates the air. It then delivers like a blast of noise that would leave a pensioner in piss as we all gathered round to watch. Check their tour dates here
