You and What Army

You and What Army are one of the most creative bands in the entire country right now! Their style can be described as anything from rock to rave to rap and absolutely everything in between!

A show from these guys is something that's gotta be seen to be believed. Long haired labcoat wearing front man Dave flys about the stage mixing screams with raps and singing whilst chisseled jawed guitarist kieran backs up Dave's singing with pitch perfect harmonies and technical guitar rhythms. Bassist Jamie keeps the songs constantly moving with huge dancey basslines played tight as a tourniquet and drummer Zak knocks fuck out of the drums producing tight complex beats lifting the songs to a whole new level. All of this combined with the elements of an underground rave produce a mind blowing experience.

You and What Army are constantly gigging around the country and are about to release a debut EP on the 5th of June (with a launch party at the little civic in Wolverhampton - anyone nearby be sure to check this out!) which is guaranteed to be awesome! Be sure to check out YAWA at your first oppurtunity and buy this EP to give your ears a delightful little treat.

We caught up with You and What Army Recently...

So for any of our readers that are yet to hear you guys, how would you describe your sound?

Our sound it very unique. No one out there are doing it at the moment, people try to say we're this and we're copying that but when people actually come to a live show, they actually say they've never seen anything like it. Our influences are all over the place and it's hard to put a genre or who we're like tag on it. Think maybe Shikari, Linkin' Park, Prodigy? Who knows?

You have an upcoming EP released the 5th of June; what can we expect from this record and how can fans get a copy?

Our EP has three new recordings and fully produced old songs; Starcadia, Supernova and I am the Navigator. Along with three brand spanking new songs; At Lightspeed, Space & Time and 25,200 degrees. You can buy from iTunes, Spotify, Napster etc.. Plus live shows and on our myspace has details where to get the physical copy from.

Out of sheer boredom lately i've been throwing in one question that i find in an old smash hits interview, so here's yours!..So guys! Should we be keeping our eyes peeled for a YAWA movie?

A YAWA movie... LOL! We haven't even made a music video before so a movie would have to get in line, however if we did it'll be crazy to plot, make and watch!

What should our readers expect from your live show?

At our live shows you'll need the following; First Aider, First Aider for First Aider #1 and a power energy pack! We are no stop moving, running, jumping, climbing, raving, rocking band. We don't stand still and try to look cool... we do what we want, when we want. You expect Dave running around and jumping off the biggest thing he can climb whilst dragging you up if your sitting down and getting you moving, Kieren standing on Jamie bass lead and causing that to stop working... Kieren running into the audience and Zak at the back trying to break whatever he's hitting with his drum sticks. Whilst Lasers, Glow Sticks, Strobes and Day Glow have exploded everywhere!

What are your goals for the rest of this year?

For the rest of the year we're planning on touring at some point. Selling as many copies of singles and ep's to get noticed more by the industry and for some label to put money into us so we can do more of the above. Get in magazines more and conquer the music world!

And finally, which bands (other than yourselves of course!) do you think we will be seeing big things from in the near future?

You should definitely check out 'Kyra' based in Kendal/Barrow-In-Furness... 'Daywalkers' based in Manchester and Indie band from Wolverhampton called 'Your Biggest Fanclub' which have something different going on especially their live shows for an indie band.

Thanks guys!
