Description
Yoko & the Oh Nos are three kids from Chicago Max Goldstein on vocals, Max Loebman on guitar, and Stef Roti on drums a raging trio fueled by Taco Bell, rock & roll myths, and pilfered booze. It doesnt quite add up how kids this young (Max L. just graduated high school) managed to tap into a vibe this classic.
The bands self-titled full-length debut, out on Autumn Tone, is crammed with classic rock riffs, swinging beats, and up front, the sassy, done-up style of Max G. emoting loosely and widly like a young David Johansen fronting the New York Dolls, possessing a crooners voice and a taste for style. Dolled up in flashy get-ups, Max G.s voice is a growly, beefy thing, a rangy tenor that belies his taste for soul shouters. The prevailing mood in modern indie garage rock is one of stylistic indifference, but thats not how Yoko & the Oh Nos come across; these kiddos dont just care, they care a lot
Yoko & the Oh Nos S/T album is their first for Autumn Tone Records, which has a knack for finding raw young bucks (turn up records by the Orwells, Twin Peaks, and Modern Vices as a testament).
Yoko & the Oh Nos are currently on tour with likeminded rock & roll weirdos The Growlers, blowing minds and connecting with crowds across the Midwest.
For fans of the White Stripes, the Strokes, the Dolls, Velvets, and rock and roll.
Comes with download card.
