YAANG AIRPORT BARFIGHT

Manchester-based punk trio YAANG have returned with their latest single, ‘Airport Barfight’. It’s an immediately punchy track that forces you to pay attention to the relentless grungy jangle of the guitar and biting drum machines. During its feverish two-minute runtime, we’re thrown into the noise of the band’s punk influences, but also hear glimmers of their gift for memorable vocal melodies in that twist of a chorus. Lyrically, the track is “about being at a crossroads in life between clinging onto your early 20s for dear life amidst the looming threat of ageing into a mature adult.” The band play live around Manchester often, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. -Dan Peeke
