Yard Act - 'We Make Hits'
Yard Act excite fans with their latest single ‘We Make Hits’, which precedes their highly anticipated second album ‘Where’s My Utopia?’
If the latest single is a taste of flavours to expect from the Leeds group, then we’re well and truly in for a treat. The track follows ‘Dream Job’ and becomes the most recent example of what’s to come from the upcoming record.
Yard Act seem to be relishing the extent of their powers, and the title of the latest single couldn’t be more apt. It’s a hit, the band have a true knack for mustering up such tracks. This one’s funky, upbeat, triumphant and so self-assured it’ll have your head bopping with contagious confidence in seconds.
From the get-go, Yard Act put set the tone with funky bass-lines driving the number. James Smith’s vocals combine with this to transform the track into a certified head-bopper. His lyrics match the tone set by the music. “We make hits!” he belts out as the band unleash an undeniably catchy chorus.
The accompanying video is clever, and depicts a story of two hitmen who are somewhat struggling for success… The plot is driven by a music video which plays throughout the song. It’s clever, cool and fast-paced. Yard Act have become synonymous with this style of unmissable music video, and fans are certainly enjoying them.
After an extremely successful 2023, Yard Act are set for big things this year. A new record and new tour dates offer their ever-growing audience reasons to be excited. The latest single truly shows off just how expansive the band can be in their style. ‘We Make Hits’ is the ultimate track to build excitement ahead of a new record. Its quality is enticing.
“An ode to friendship and unfiltered joy you feel when you’re making music with the people you hold dear in your life”, Smith labelled the band’s latest release. This is abundantly clear in how the track’s turned out.
Yard Act are on the rise and showing no signs of slowing. Many will watch with a keen eye as they take on the new year.
