Yeevs are a band out of the Blue Mountains via Sydney who don’t just
play music- they wring catharsis out of their instruments with a deep
and instinctual need that will make you feel the dissonance as much as
hear it. Combining lo fi punk, new-wave power pop and emotional
storytelling, Bradley Cork, Sean Lees and Tom Bamford came together
from different genre backgrounds and bonded over a mutual love of
music and creating to fuse these elements into their own music;
interlocking energetically and sonically to create something whole and
real. From the cathartic heft of How To Harken Back, to the sombre
introspection of Bellow Of A Cheer, Yeevs know how to affect a killer
hook or well-timed word. ‘Moving Magnets’ is the first listen from
the forthcoming debut album, and their most inspired release to date.
With producer Dan Holdsworth, the band were challenged to try new and
complex arrangements, strengthening and further energising the
material they had worked on throughout 2018. The result is a startling
clarity to be found within gritty indie rock, as can be seen in the
striking lead single, ‘Moving Magnets’. PRAISE “The songwriting
is seriously something. I love how angry it feels near the end. Big
heart eyes for this.” Triple J Unearthed, Claire Mooney (‘Moving
Magnets’) “I can’t get enough of Yeevs. To say you wear your
heart on your sleeve doesn’t do justice to the honest, raw, searing
passion that each release exudes.” Triple J, Declan Byrne
(‘Clatter & Green’) “...an assortment of soaring indie gems
littered with anthemic vocals and a sprinkling of punk vibes, making
for a uniquely impressive debut.” MusicFeeds (How To Harken Back EP)
“...it manages to set up camp in the thin line that lies somewhere
between anguish and joy, capturing the best of both worlds whilst the
band continue their ascent.” Little Indie Blogs (Bellow Of Cheer EP)
