YAANG – No Pressure or Airport Bar Fights, just one of the most exciting bands to come from the North West
YAANG are a band we have been trying to book since we saw them at The Ferret’s celebration of being a ‘Saved’ venue as part the Music Venue Trusts ‘Save Our Venues’ campaign and boy did they put on a show that night.
2025 got off to a flyer for the band with when they were announced as part of illustrious hype list NME 100 where they were heralded as “one of the most exciting bands to come from the North West.”
Formed when Davey Moore (vocals/sampler) met Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) at a rhythmic awareness class at the University of Salford, the line up was later completed by Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass duties – Manchester punk trio YAANG have ever since been steadily building their reputation for furious, high-energy, live shows, powered by the rocket-fuel combo of pulsating drum loops, clangorous guitars and a wicked sense of humour.”
Growing their list of radio supporters to Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Emily Pilbeam, Indie Forever, New Music Fix (BBC Radio 6 Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X). With backing too from The Line of Best Fit, DIYmag, Louder than War, and Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon.
Big shows have been coming thick and fast this year and we are delighted to be able to welcome them to Sunbird Records when they are also playing the likes of Preston POP Festival, Manchester Pysche Fest and Float Along in Sheffield, trust us this is a band you are very unlikely to see if in a venue the size of Sunbird again so don’t miss out!!
This is Neotribe at full throttle. Don’t sleep on it, grab your tickets now while they last
