Yard Act are a minimalist rock group from Leeds. Old friends in a new band, spicing their observations across all walks of British life with sharp, satirical spoken-word humour. The four-piece released four coruscating, hilariously dark singles on their own imprint Zen F.C., all securing BBC 6 Music airplay and an increasing fanbase. Debut ‘The Overload’ is a record of great dexterity by a band who were raised on a 00s digital-revolution buffet of US MTV Hip-Hop, minimal 70s No-Wave and sharp-witted British indie.
