Jul 29, 2022Perfectly political and nonsensical in equal measure. There are no dull moments on the overload, with dense lyricism, and catchy melodies- it's almost danceable. Punk is in safe hands with Yard Act.

Mar 30, 2022Fantastic. I’ll never give an album 10/10 but this is the closest yet this year to April. Clever lyrics great sound. To start with thought of this as a cross between Blur and Sleaford Mods - but they have there own sound and style. Love it!

Jan 24, 2022An album that occasionally impresses me but for the most part makes me appreciate Talking Heads a whole lot more.

Jan 21, 2022This band jams. I'd describe Yard Act as a kind-of British version of Parquet Courts, and that's just fine with me.

Feb 3, 2022The Overload is quite the debut.

Jan 25, 2022The Overload has enough interesting touchstones, but unfortunately, how Yard Act aim to utilize them within their songwriting MO is still a bit of a jumble. Many of the sounds and textures don’t really add much expressive gusto to Smith’s thespian qualities, and I feel the group can cover a lot of ground here on upcoming releases.

Jan 25, 2022A little bit Sleaford Mods, a helping of The Fall and a dash of Pulp, the group craft smart vignettes of modern life with a confident, witty delivery across their debut full-length, The Overload.
