YARD Returns With New Single ‘Trevor’
YARD’s latest single ‘Trevor’ bursts onto the scene with an electrifying blend of techno beats and electronic rock that makes it impossible to ignore.
Following a stellar 2024, the Dublin-based electropunk trio has outdone themselves with this boundary-pushing track that brings both intensity and a new level of innovation to their sound. The pulsating rhythms, aggressive crescendo, and haunting vocals create a captivating experience that hooks you in from the first beat.
‘Trevor’ not only solidifies YARD’s reputation as one of Ireland’s most exciting bands but also showcases their unmatched ability to combine elements of post-punk rock and electronica into something entirely unique. The track’s cinematic quality, with its mix of euphoric techno and brooding synth walls, feels as though it’s taking you on a dystopian journey. Lyrically, ‘Trevor’ explores the deep human connection we can have with inanimate objects, giving the track an emotional weight that complements its chaotic energy.
With ‘Trevor’ as the lead single for their upcoming EP, YARD is clearly pushing boundaries even further, taking inspiration from genre-defining acts like Nine Inch Nails and Death Grips. If this track is any indication, their upcoming work promises to be just as explosive and thrilling.
After ‘Weathering’ and ‘The Big Picture’, acclaimed Lyon-based 4-piece Last Train‘s new album is a direct reflection of raw anger. Recorded in a crumbling, unheated chateau, ‘III’ channels frustration into meticulously composed rock. Formed in the 2010s, Jean-Noël Scherrer, Julien Peultier, Timothée Gérard and Antoine Baschung gained a strong following with their first two albums and toured with Muse and Placebo. In 2024 they released ‘Original Motion Picture Soundtrack’, an orchestral reworking of their songs, but the new album marks their true return to form as a rock band. Tracks like the first two singles ‘Home’ and ‘The Plan’ combine rock energy with melody, balancing emotional depth and anger.
With ‘III’, Last Train have produced a radical and authentic third album, far from the aseptic super-productions. With ‘One by One’ – the focus track, you’ll feel right in the band’s rehearsal room: screeching feedback, punchy drums, overflowing bass and incisive choruses. Provocative as it is, the track embodies a frantic race: the train will go on, with or without us. Mature, confident and increasingly daring, these ambassadors of French rock continue their dizzying ascent, no matter how high the wall!
The band are touring Europe extensively this year in support of the album, including a headline London show and appearances at Focus Wales and The Great Escape Festival. Don’t miss the chance to catch them live in all of their glory.
Upcoming UK shows:
8.05: Focus Wales, Wrexham (20:15- Ty Pawb)
10.05: Focus Wales, Wrexham (19:25- Penny Black)
12.05: The Grace, London (Headline show)
16.05: The Great Escape, Brighton (7pm at The Wing at The Brighton Centre).
