Following in the great line of related bands such as The Jacksons, The Osmonds and (ahem) the Partridge Family, come YoYo Static. Together, they make a frantic new wave sound inspired by Wire, Magazine and XTC. Formed in spring 2006, songs developed quickly and after a handful of gigs featuring a lot of limb shaking, a flurry of film projection and audiences shouting for more, YoYo Static are gaining a reputation for being the most exciting and watchable group on Sheffield’s lively music scene.

Discography

Due March 2007 - It Builds Up EP (4 tracks 10” Vinyl)

  What the Press Say

"Sheffield four piece YoYo Static, the self titled "indie Osmonds", have puttogether 4 cracking little tracks blending punk, new wave and indie pop. Sharp and spiky, with delicate vocals over glockenspiel one moment and fiery lyrics over jangly guitars the next, little bursts of electronic wizardry and a whole lot of musical energy, YoYo Static bring to mind bands like Franz Ferdinand, the Fall and at times even The Smiths. Definitely one tolisten out for."
 

"YoYo Static are definitely a breath of fresh air away from where the Sheffield music scene seems to be heading. Their original blend of thumping bass lines, spiky guitar parts and driving beats . YoYo Static sound like a car crash between everything that has been good about music in the last thirty years. their music calls upon subtle flecks of punk, funk, new romantic, britpop and even a slight hint of new rave to boot. Not a bad amalgamation of styles and influences to be in a road accident with."
