Leeds’ Famous Mavericks YARD ACT About Their Dream Job – ‘WE MAKE HITS’

New striking strokes

17 January 2024

British indie rockers YARD ACT shot to the top faster than they could
realise, last year with their ace debut album LP The Overload.

And they have the intention to go on with their own fervent flow.

Second LP, baptized, WHERE’S MY UTOPIA will show up on 1 March.

Album artwork

James Smith (frontman): “You can see the cynicism and the silliness on the surface
of “We Make Hits” without much effort, but at its core, for me, it’s really an ode to friendship and the unfiltered joy you feel when you’re making music with the people you hold dear in your life. Meanwhile back in the Yardiverse, we’re getting the origin story of the hitmen Dynamite Dave and Dudley Sunglasses. A valid parable about the trappings of late capitalism, and the compromises we have to make to survive sometimes.”

With WE MAKE HITS they share new track #3.

Can’t argue with that. They produce (from their debut LP on) tune after tune after
tune. It’s what they do, it’s their dream job and their reward is, deservedly, gigantic.
