The Yours

—

Bursting into the Hong Kong indie music scene in 2005, The Yours have quickly established themselves with a reputation for their stunning live performances. Variously described as a mixture of post-punk and shoegazing, their music is punctuated by walls of fuzzed out guitar riffs and a steady, almost drum-machine like rhythm section. In 2006 HK Rockit music festival they released their debut album, Abraham. Their title track “Missed Call” is also included on Northern St ar Records’ (UK) Compilation <Psychedelica Volume 2>. Now The Yours are peparing their 2nd album.

A Roller Control

—

“ARC’s dance fever is generated not only with knobs-and-dials, but also with live bass and keys… It recalls elements of Ratatat and New Zealand’s So So Modern, but manages to breathe a life all of its own. If you’re one to keep a logbook of bands that will help define a city’s nascent underground scene, put the initials ARC at the top of the list on the first page, and then double underline.” – Hamish McKenzie (Time Out Magazine)
