YAK

Having earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most thrilling live bands, Yak have now announced their biggest headline shows to date for September and October including a date at London’s Scala. In May 2016 London-based trio Yak released their debut album ‘Alas Salvation’, produced by Pulp’s Steve Mackey, to a slew of glowing reviews. With Q describing the record as “rarely short of breath-taking” and The Guardian as “like being run over, but in a good way”, it seems fitting that the video for Yak’s new single ‘Use Somebody, directed by Douglas Hart of The Jesus and Mary Chain, features the band in a high-speed, crash-strewn chase around London in a hearse recently purchased by frontman Oli Burslem.
