YARD OF BLONDES are a new force on the alternate rock scene. With their female bassist, raw energy and selective influences you can’t help but being reminded of bands such as Sonic Youth,  the Pixies and  the  Smashing Pumpkins.

Their new single Do You Need More? isstorming track, complete with sludgy and earthy guitars, and a pummelling rhythm section which all rolled into some sweet and explosive melodies topped off with some beautiful intertwining of vocals ranging from aggressive to controlled and melodious. 

The emerging French/Californian rock band Yard Of Blondes is composed of Vincent Jacob (vocals/guitar), Fanny Hill (bass/vocals), Burak Yerebakan (guitar) and Forrest Mitchell (drums/vocals).
