Our Take

YAK's "Alas Salvation" is a raucous, rough-and-tumble ride through the seedy underbelly of rock 'n' roll. From the opening track "Victorious (National Anthem)" to the closing notes of "Please Don't Wait for Me," this album is a sonic assault on the senses that will leave you exhilarated and exhausted in equal measure.

Lead singer Oli Burslem's snarling vocals are like a punch to the gut, while the frenetic energy of the band's instrumentation is nothing short of electrifying. Tracks like "Harbour the Feeling" and "Hungry Heart" are brimming with a raw, untamed power that will have you headbanging along in no time.

But beneath all the chaos and noise, there lies a real sense of craftsmanship and musicianship. The band's tight rhythms and blistering guitar riffs show a level of skill and precision that is truly impressive.

YAK have managed to capture the excitement and passion of their live performances on record, creating an album that is both visceral and exhilarating. "Alas Salvation" is a whirlwind of a record that will have you reaching for the replay button as soon as it's over. In a music industry filled with cookie-cutter acts and bland, overproduced records, YAK are a breath of fresh air – a band unafraid to make some noise and shake things up. Don't sleep on "Alas Salvation" – it's a wild ride you won't want to miss.

About the artist

Yak

London-based trio YAK burst onto the scene in 2014 with their debut album "Alas Salvation," and have been making waves ever since. Fronted by the enigmatic Oli Burslem, the band's frenetic live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting acts in the UK music scene. YAK's music is a raucous blend of punk, garage rock, and psychedelic influences, with Burslem's charismatic vocals and blistering guitar riffs at the forefront. The band's sound is raw, energetic, and undeniably infectious, drawing comparisons to iconic acts such as The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. In addition to their electrifying live performances, YAK have also made a name for themselves as innovative songwriters and producers. Their sophomore album, "Pursuit of Momentary Happiness," showcased a more experimental side to the band, with tracks like "Bellyache" and "Words Fail Me" earning critical acclaim for their bold sonic experimentation. With their fearless approach to music-making and boundary-pushing sound, YAK have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene. Whether they're tearing up a stage at Glastonbury or headlining a sold-out show at London's Electric Ballroom, this is a band that knows how to command attention and leave a lasting impression. So, if you're looking for a band that isn't afraid to push the boundaries and challenge the status quo, look no further than YAK. With their infectious energy, raw talent, and unapologetically bold sound, this is a band that's destined for big things in the world of music.
