Liverpool four-piece YOBS are today announcing their self titled debut album will be unleashed on May 3rd via Fuzz Club Records and have shared the lead single, Wasted, that follows on from last year’s debut double single, Fortune Teller / Cemetery Man. Taking no prisoners, YOBS deal in hard-edged, primitive garage-punk salvos that race by with a bludgeoning intensity. It’s abrasive rock ’n roll that will leave your bones rattling as much as your speakers, with the new single Wasted delivering a gloriously scuzzy and hedonistic taste of what’s to come.

“I think Wasted came to us in our first session together, it was just dead natural. It was inspired by a heavy weekend at a festival I played, in an old band. We had over-indulged a bit and after crawling to a portaloo, I ended up getting stuck in there for what seemed like a year. Every time I tried to leave I couldn’t find my way out. I ended up sat on the floor, giving myself a bit of a talking to ha! It’s a bit of a stomper, and one that people like to sing along to. Our first ever show was at Mountain Sound Festival in Italy, and when we played it, it just went off. They asked for an encore and we had no other songs… so we played that again, the crowd sang along with the choruses, it was boss. So, we thought this has to be one of the singles.” (frontman Joey Ackland)
