Emerging Brighton 5-piece Island Club have just carved their melodic, indie synth-pop name into 2017 with the release of their new track ‘Irresistible’. Following on from the remarkable success of their previous tracks ‘Let Go’ and ‘Paper Kiss’ (racking up over 2M streams on Spotify and counting) this is another joyful, effervescent synth-pop gem that…
It’s no surprise that a city as unique and combustive as Liverpool would bring together a band so striking as Wide Eyed Boy. Two parts British, one part German and one part Australian, this four-piece take their adopted home’s heritage seriously – from the internationalist culture of the city, to its inevitable musical lineage. Oliver,…
Relatively new to the scene forming in July 2016, CueCliché are a three piece pop-punk band based in London. These lads aren’t just your typically cockney trio, oh no, they consist of a much more varied bloodline with two members hailing from Liverpool and Cork respectively. CueCliché claim their music is inspired by “a…

How do you write your music? Do Maybelleen have a unique process? PETER: Charles and me write our own songs acoustically and…
In Ontario, Canada, there are three men making music. Not particularly surprising, I’m sure you’ve heard that story a million times. But these are the three that Yack has chosen to present to you, because we believe, they’re awesome. In Sanity is a hippity hop collective consisting of Eiren, Catharsis and Gonzo. They don’t have a…
YACK are developing a habit of conducting mediocre interviews. This was no exception, it started with a brief call and response of Mean Girls quotes, and went downhill from there. This is what YACK‘s Robb Hiscock and Edityourhometown‘s Connor Stanford, Daniel Gibbon and Steven Fountain chatted about. DG– Yeah, so this is probably the only…
We chatted to Kilkovec as part of our Featured Artist Fridays. Robb Hiscock interviewed Dan Wilson, Matt Stroud and Matt Kelly, in classic Yack fashion (not very well).
