Having roots both in Canada and the UK, YNES (pronounced Yin-ES) takes equal influence from the North American DIY-punk scene, and the Britpop revival of the late 2000’s. Sitting messily between the two, YNES splashes tongue-in-cheek lyricism over a high-energy punk canvas.
Two of the most iconic genres to come out of the UK are punk and Britpop – YNES brings the two together in a painfully relatable manner.” SIMONE BARTON [CLASH]
YNES doesn’t shy away from direct approach in her lyrics – one example being her most recent single “I Wanna Be Overrated”.
“I wanna say I’m dating Steven Tyler and have someone believe me” LYRICS FROM ‘I WANNA BE OVERRATED’
YNES spent the majority of 2020 maximising her social media presence. It was her 30-second demo jingles that garnered the attention of Isle of Wight and Bigfoot Festival 2021.
Following these stages, YNES set off on a 6-date independent headline tour in early 2022. YNES has since supported the likes of GIRLI, benefits, and was even asked to play alongside Billy Bragg at Glastonbury Festival 2022.
YNES is currently on both the Underground Shoes & Fred Perry Subculture roster, and has been playlisted on both ‘Shockwave’ and ‘The Punk List’ on Spotify. YNES’ EP ‘Overgrown Rebel’ is out December 9th 2022.
“A YNES track is like listening to a Noam Chomsky audiobook while a punk band rattles through three-chord bangers in the next room.” INDIE MIDLANDS
