Release Notes:

Fronted by former Seahorse's singer Chris Helme, alongside Stu Fletcher on bass,
guitarist Chris Farrell, drummer John Miller and Jon Hargreaves on keyboards,
The Yards were formed in 2002.

They have spent the past two years touring and honing their distinctive sound.
Live shows have drawn comparisons to artists as diverse as Buffalo Springfield,
Velvet Underground, The Verve, The Stooges, Soft Machine and The Doors, and the
influence of many of these bands amongst many others can be heard in their brand
of 60s tinged, melodic rock which at times has psychedelic touches and at others
is full of punky attitude.

The release comes on the back of busy 2004. In addition to playing the Uncut
stage at the Guilford Festival, embarking on two headlining tours of the UK and
releasing a highly sought after 6 track EP in Japan, the band also supported the
legendary Love with Arthur Lee on an extensive UK tour.

‘An inventive poetic rock band led by Chris Helme’s distinctive voice, with
crushing guitars.’ The Fly

‘You can’t say that Helme never had a way with a melody and a rousing chorus.’
