The Yes Way are RethinkPopMusic's newest and most exciting artist. According to The Deli Magazine "The Yes Way infuse their sound with versatility and mood. By incorporating different sonic elements -- guitar riffs blended with smooth harmonies, heavy instrumentation carried by emotional vocals - this band has an admirable track list to offer"
Despite NOT having an album pressed The Yes Way have been playing New York's most noteworthy venues (Mercury Lounge, Santos Party House, The Studio at Webster Hall) for about a year, but all tour and album release aspirations have been on hold until Aaron (vox/guitar) recently took a leave of absence from the critically acclaimed Xylos.
Since then, The Yes Way have played multiple SXSW 2010 showcases, Kahbang Music Festival with OK GO, Free Energy and B.O.B and were voted the Deli Magazine's Band of the Month for September 2010. Recently they released their debut music video and were featured on Fearless Radio performing acoustically.
In the next few months The Yes Way will hit the road once more with appearances at Midpoint Music Festival (Best Coast, Surfer Blood, Ted Leo), CMJ 2010, the Miami Music Festival (Headliners TBD) and will be featured on Balcony TV and Daytrotter.
After CMJ, The Yes Way will use their three hours of studio time (prize for The Deli Magazine's band of the month) to cut a live recording. Not only to represent the live show, and therefore something that fans might want to buy, but it's also great producer bait for the debut studio album we intend to record at year's end.
Recent Press:
The Deli Magazine says: "The Yes Way infuse their sound with versatility and mood. By incorporating different sonic elements -- guitar riffs blended with smooth harmonies, heavy instrumentation carried by emotional vocals -- this band has an admirable track list to offer. The track that stands out for its uniqueness, is the Radiohead circa OK Computer/In Rainbows, "Where Was I," which well represents that versatility this band is going for."
The Culture Of Me says: "In this over-mediated, completely saturated terrain we all consider our lives, it's shockingly hard-pressed to find an act that's absent of even a marginal amount of weaselly self-importance. Putting all that is righteous and admirable about the craft of songwriting into their indie rock blender, The Yes Way create a medium-fi (trademark), moody, not-quite-pop mixture of expansive guitars, snapping drums and shape-shifting vocal harmonies.
