Yard Act were supported in London by Connie Constance.

After their gig in London on December 1st, Yard Act have now finally wrapped up a ridiculously busy 2022 sparked by the release of debut album The Overload at the start of the year.

We also caught the tour in Leeds as the band played their biggest hometown show to-date at the city’s O2 Academy venue.

“It’s from here where things start to get much less predictable, a mid-song break during Land Of The Blind (taken early, according to Shjipstone) ended abruptly by the ‘bap bap bap ba da bas’ of a crowd still feeding off the energy of that opening salvo,” our review reads.

“‘Can you keep that going?’ Smith asks, and the band return the favour on an unlikely airing of The Osmonds’ Crazy Horses. Yard Act’s covers come with their own Wikipedia page – Donny was ill you know, it was their first self-penned hit – but if there’s anything tongue-in-cheek it’s blown away by this furious version which entirely justifies their description of it as a ‘proto-metal’ classic.”
