Our Take

YARD ACT's debut album, The Overload, is a boisterous romp through the highs and lows of modern life. From the infectious hooks of "Fixer Upper" to the introspective musings of "Quarantine Itch," this Leeds-based quartet have crafted a collection of songs that are as catchy as they are thought-provoking.

Lead singer James Smith's distinctive vocals are the perfect foil for the band's razor-sharp lyrics, which take aim at everything from consumer culture to social media obsession. In tracks like "Greatest Hits" and "Peanuts," YARD ACT blend post-punk swagger with a healthy dose of self-awareness, creating a sound that is at once familiar and fresh.

The band's penchant for blending genres is on full display throughout The Overload, with nods to indie rock, hip-hop, and electronica all making an appearance. Tracks like "Dark Days" and "Dollars to Pounds" showcase the band's versatility, while still maintaining a sense of urgency and purpose.

Overall, YARD ACT have delivered a bold and brash debut album that is sure to make waves in the indie music scene. With catchy hooks, thought-provoking lyrics, and a healthy dose of attitude, The Overload is a must-listen for anyone looking to shake up their music library. So go ahead, crank up the volume and let YARD ACT overload your senses.
