Manchester based trio YAANG are one of the most exciting bands currently making waves. Their sound resists easy categorisation, being a unique amalgam of punk, motorik, art rock and dance beats.

Their vinyl debut, the 4 track 10” EP ‘No’, on the Cracked Ankles label, showcased the breadth of the band’s stylistic approaches. Selling out very swiftly, and winning serious acclaim.

2025 also saw YAANG 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.” and growing their list of radio backers supporters to Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Emily Pilbeam, Indie Forever, New Music Fix (BBC Radio 6 Music) and John Kennedy (Radio X)- via backing too from The Line of Best Fit, DIY, and Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon.
