YYZ

YYZ is a pop trio consisting of singer Ali McNally, Dan Gamble (synths/guitar) and DJ Ed Wilder. Their new cut is a bouncy club number that sounds primed for a spot on the next Just Dance video game installment.

We listened to this gratifyingly berserk pop anthem 24 times over the weekend.

Sometimes we fantasised about it being a new Nicola Roberts single.

Sometimes we thought it would be a fun Saturdays song.

At one point we considered the pandemonium that would ensue if Adele released it, out of nowhere, with a full-on Adele-goes-down-the-disco raveathon-inspired video.

But as we've looked more closely at new London-based trio YYZ (we've written more about them here), the more we're thrilled they're putting it out themselves, because it feels like a rather exciting new pop act is just starting to get going.

It's out now - you can buy it here on iTunes. - Popjustice

We’ve just put up YYZ’s extraordinary, slightly unhinged new single ‘Lost In The Mix’ as a Big Song.

We hadn’t really noticed them before ‘Lost In The Mix’ came along but they’re quite new, and let us tell you this ladies and gentlemen, it turns out that YYZ are EXTREMELY good.

The trio have sort of been on Popjustice before, although not together.

DJ person Ed Wilder was behind a highly listenable vigilante remix of Nicola Roberts’ ‘Beat Of My Drum’, which we featured as a Song Of The Day. Two years before that, as part of a band called Ghostcat, singer Ali and keyboardist Dan scored another Song Of The Day with a song called ‘This Is A Bust’.

As well as ‘Lost In The Mix’ there are three more songs off their SoundCloud – ‘Hit & Run’ is probably the best of the lot.

As well as some good music – almost as importantly – they’ve got a really good logo.

So there you are. A good new pop act to be interested in. - Popjustice
