Yard Act
Yard Act formed in Leeds late 2019 when Ryan Needham found himself temporarily living in James Smith’s spare bedroom. bedroom. Settling into a system of programming, looping and layering, the alchemy between the two created a base from which to build their complex and ever expanding narrative world. With just three hometown shows under their belt, world events intervened, ut rather than letting the pandemic derail them Yard Act set up their own imprint, Zen F.C. and across the course of 2020 and into early 2021 released four increasingly coruscating, hilariously dark singles. Subsequently expanded to a four-piece, joined by Sam Shjipstone (guitar) and Jay Russell (drums), their debut album “The Overload” was released in January ’22, landing a number 2 album in the UK, a Mercury Prize nomination, and making them one of the most talked about bands on the planet.
