Yonaka

"Hailing from Brighton; this four-piece like to hang their songs on a knife edge. One second in and they’ll be a fully-fledged pop outfit with pristine hooks. The next, they’ll be wrestling with chunky guitar parts and giant, speaker-blowing noise"- DIY Magazine 

“The single drifts dynamically with heavyweight pop hooks one moment and punky, guitar-driven rock the next. It’s a diverse offering, one that allows vocalist Theresa Jarvis to assert “Ignorance is not bliss to me” with full-fledged attitude.” - Earmilk

 Following on from a jam-packed and productive 2015 - which started with the band forming, signing to BBC Radio 1 Phil Taggart’s Hometown Records, playing over 30 shows and writing a hugely strong body of work - Brighton’s Yonaka, are ready to make waves in 2016.

 On March 4th 2016, Yonaka will release their debut single ‘Ignorance’ through Hometown Records. The track debuted on Earmilk and you can stream it HERE. This follows their previous stripped rock-pop earful, ‘Run’, which was put online softly last year and garnered support from the likes of Clash and DIY, with DIY claiming it to be a “giant opening gambit”. Both ‘Ignorance’ and ‘Run will also be part of a limited run via record lovers ‘Flying Vinyl’ in their March Issue.

 Yonaka’s live shows have been cause for excitement having played four busy London club shows and a support tour with Killing Joke. The band’s debut headlining tour kicks off on March 1st at London’s Lexington and they will be supporting Drenge on their NME Awards warm up shows. Yonaka look set to truly be a band to watch.
