Having steered their golden Rover into swift public acclaim back in 2020, Leeds quartet Yard Act have become one of the great indie success stories of the decade so far. Debut album ‘The Overload’ went straight in at Number Two, narrowly missing out on the top spot after a hard – and hilariously – fought chart ‘battle’. Since then, the band – vocalist James Smith, bassist Ryan Needham, guitarist Sam Shjipstone and drummer Jay Russell – have spent the past two years traversing the globe, playing festivals from Tokyo to Texas and racking up career milestones on a near-weekly basis.
