YAANG

genre-fluid trio blending electronic beats and hook-led melodies.

YAANG have quickly built a reputation as one of the North West’s most exciting new bands, earning early recognition on NME 100 and continued support across BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X and beyond. Champions including Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Emily Pilbeam and John Kennedy have helped drive their rise, alongside press backing from The Line of Best Fit, DIY and Louder Than War, as well as support from Simon Le Bon

Formed after Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (guitar/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at the University of Salford, the Manchester trio was completed by bassist Ben White (ex-Working Men’s Club). Since then, YAANG have been steadily building momentum with their furious, high-energy live shows — a sharp mix of pounding drum loops, abrasive guitars and a dry, offbeat sense of humour.
