YAANG

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. Last year’s vinyl debut, the 4 track 10” EP ‘No’, on the Cracked Ankles label, showcased the breadth of the band’s stylistic approaches. It also sold out very swiftly, and won 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. Comprised of Davey Moore (vocals/sampler), Oliver Duffy (Guitars/vocals) and Ben White (Ex-Working Men’s Club) on bass - YAANG have been steadily building a reputation for furious, high-energy, live shows, their breakneck energy winning over an abundance of new fans..
