Yes Sir Boss, das sind Frontman Matt Sellors, Bassist Josh Stopford, Gitarrist Luke Potter, Drummer Reuben Nimmo, Trompeter Tom Lad und Jehan Abdel-Malak am Saxophon. Zusammen haben sie sich ihren Sound zwischen Balkan Blues und Indie-Band mit Trompete entwickelt, und genau das ist funky, rootsy, chaotisch und macht ihren Sound unverwechselbar! Unsere Songs sind kein Folk, oder Rock, oder Reggae, sie sind einfach Yes Sir Boss! erklärt Matt Sellors. In ihrem Heimatland England haben sie sich mit ihren explosiven Shows bereits einen Ruf als exzellente Live-Band erarbeitet, und werden dieses Jahr auch außerhalb der Insel Station machen. ------------------------------------------- Yes Sir Boss, the first signing to soul singer Joss Stone s own label Stone d Records , release the Desperation State EP: A seamless blend of instant hooks, offbeat rhythms and epic riffs, encompassing elements of everything from ska, roots and reggae, to jazz, funk and indie. Yes Sir Boss are an eclectic collection of six college friends including Matt Sellors, bassist Josh Stopford, guitarist Luke Potter, drummer Reuben Nimmo, trumpeter Tom Lad, and saxophonist Jehan Abdel-Malak. Together they have cultivated a truly original, distinct and indefinable sound that has elements of everything from a brooding Balkan blues band to a horn injected indie rock outfit... In the end, though, it's the melding of all their disparate sounds that makes YSB's shambolic, funky, rootsy, tunes so unique. Having captivated audiences across the UK, Yes Sir Boss have been heralded for their energetic shows, earning them a reputation as one of Britain s most dynamic new live bands. "We could have written a folk album or a rock album or a reggae album but we had to find the songs that had all of those elements," Sellors explains. "Our songs aren't folk or rock or reggae, they're just Yes Sir Boss." And as for the name? Nicked from one of their lyrics of course, before they moved to Bristol "where the streets are paved with gold," jokes Matt. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due for release this summer.
