"YVES are a high octane three piece formed in 2016, consisting of Harry Roke (guitar and vocals), Mitchell Dodson (bass / backing vocals) and Finn Wilkinson (drums / backing vocals).

YVES produce arena-sized rock tunes, where soaring vocal melodies are met by a muscle of bass and drums, their songs are hand crafted singalongs, a result that has been described as a greazy-grunge sound that is gratifyingly familiar yet thrillingly fresh.



2016 saw the band cut their teeth at many of the UK’s major festivals including Leeds, Y Not, Tenement TV’s ‘Tenement Trail’, Fieldview, Tramlines and Truck Festival where they opened the main stage. Their D.I.Y ethic and gritty, garage laced sound saw the band support the likes of The Sherlocks, Public Access TV, The Night Café and INHEAVEN on tour dates. This Feeling identified the band as a rising name for 2017 as did Fred Perry Subculture who featured the band on their ‘Big in 2017’ list, Eudaemonia stated that “calling this band 'one's to watch' would be an understatement”.



Praise from press and music blogs has been backed by statistics, the bands first single of 2017 ‘Only One’ (released 26th April 2017) received 100,000 streams on Spotify in its first two weeks. ‘Under Your Thumb’ (released 28th May 2017), was featured in Spotify’s prestigious ‘Indie List’ and ‘Hot New Bands’ playlist. The bands 3rd single of 2017 'You Wanna Know' (released 30th June 2017) was their most anticipated single to date. It was featured in Spotify's 'New Music Friday' playlist within 6 minutes of release, where on Spotify it gained 50,000 streams in its first week. In addition to this ITunes/Apple Music US featured the song 3rd in it's Rock 'Hot Tracks' section alongside Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age and Royal Blood. The immediacy of their music was proven when YVES were listed in the Spotify 'Viral 50' chart in May 2017, where they were the 11th most shared track in the UK with 'Only One’.”
