"YVES are a high octane three piece formed in 2016, consisting of Harry Roke (guitar and

vocals), Mitchell Dodson (bass / backing vocals) and Finn Wilkinson (drums / backing

vocals).

YVES produce arena-sized rock tunes, where soaring vocal melodies are met by a muscle

of bass and drums, their songs are hand crafted singalongs, a result that has been

described as a greazy-grunge sound that is gratifyingly familiar yet thrillingly fresh.

2016 saw the band cut their teeth at many of the UK’s major festivals including Leeds, Y

Not, Tenement TV’s ‘Tenement Trail’, Fieldview, Tramlines and Truck Festival where they

opened the main stage. Their D.I.Y ethic and gritty, garage laced sound saw the band

support the likes of The Sherlocks, Public Access TV, The Night Café and INHEAVEN on

tour dates. This Feeling identified the band as a rising name for 2017 as did Fred Perry

Subculture who featured the band on their ‘Big in 2017’ list, Eudaemonia stated that

“calling this band 'one's to watch' would be an understatement”.
