Yard Act by James Brown
Yard Act later described their first network performance as ‘a rush’.
Yard Act have made their US television debut, performing the title-track of their debut album on The Tonight Show.
It’s an introduction for a wider American audience to the band after they spent last week showing off all The Overload’s virtues to the South By Southwest Festival.
“Needham felt The Overload was a concept album of sorts, a project which even deep in had the working title of Yard Act – The Musical,” our review reads.
“Although the idea was eventually trashed, a vague outline of it still exists: the final act even includes a predictably complicated happy ending, firstly with the mashed-up vibes of Pour Another – arguably the album’s most complete song – and then with closer 100% Endurance.”
“Here, despite the dystopian mess, everything comes to a point, and that point is that there is a point, that despite living one day at a time in a state of #beunkind love is made, people hug, smiles are still given up to strangers and that life goes on, regardless of a mean tweet that isn’t true anyway.”
