Bio
a freakish collection of noisy, yet wildly talented and unfathomably handsome post-hardcore loving nerds, yokozuna fries brains and makes you want to dance through barely controlled chaos and winning smiles
We've been written up by SPIN magazine, as one of the bands to watch. The link is:

We've also been played onTom Robinson's BBC 6Music show, and he had some fantastic things to say about us as well.
One of our tracks was also recently used by Quiksilver for some of their online videos:

We toured France back in the summer of 2010 and had another amazing tour of the UK this past summer (July 2012). Basically, we will play pretty much anywhere anytime. If yr asking us to play out of town all we ask in return is money for petrol and a place to crash afterwards. All YokoHouseTrained x
