The Yada Yada Yadas

The Yada Yada Yadas are a band who have truly mastered the craft of writing beautifully silly pop songs, and burying them deep beneath piles of dirt, feedback, and uncompromisingly creamy fuzz.

Influenced by bands such as Pavement, Neutral Milk Hotel, and The Flaming Lips, it’s clear to hear the noisy alternative U.S influence upon the songwriting of Vocalist/ Guitarist Mark Owens. This Influence runs deep into the bands identity, transcending just music, and smothering a 90s low-fi texture across every stylistic outlet of the band.

The eccentric and painful irony of the lyrical content within bands catalogue of songs pulls expertly from the Stephen Malkmus, Jeff Mangum, Wayne Coyne school of twisted imagery, in a borderline nonsensical stream of consciousness style. Lyrically and musically, the band are obsessed with the idea of letting the listener dig through the messy surface of noise, to discover the simplicity of the pop gem that lies within each track for themselves.

The band have recently finished working on their debut EP at Blast Recording Studios (Used by Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, Therapy?) in Newcastle upon-Tyne with the fantastic Thom Lewis producing. There’s a beauty in opposites and The Yada Yada Yadas new EP is both pragmatic and ethereal, it builds and burns, leaving you wanting more… It’s a love letter and a breakup in 4 tracks leaving many questions unanswered.

The Yada Yada Yadas are Mark Owens (Vocals/Guitar) Harley De’vere (Guitar) Stephen Avison (Drums) Liam Slack (Bass)
