In pictures: YONAKA’s superb headline show at London’s KOKO
This week YONAKA headlined London’s KOKO with support from NOISY and Mimi Barks – here’s what it looked like…
South Coast alt.rock mob YONAKA have also dropped a brand-new single, Bad Company.
One of Kerrang!'s 13 Bands You Need To Know In 2019, YONAKA have just announced their debut album Don’t Wait ’Til Tomorrow, and unveiled a new single titled Bad Company.
The record is due out on May 31 through Asylum Records, and, according to singer Theresa Jarvis, had a "cathartic" writing process. "We self-produced the entire LP, which features nine news songs and three already released, including the second track we ever wrote, Awake," she explains. "The album’s title, Don’t Wait ’Til Tomorrow, is a message about reaching out to someone, picking up the phone and making a call; it’s about knowing it’s okay to not be okay. The title-track is a personal favourite of mine. We can’t wait to release the album and we hope it resonates with our fans as much as it does with us.”
