Youves are a dance-punk quintet from Nuneaton, England, formed in 2003. The band consists of lead vocalist Stephen Broadley, guitarists Michael King and Alex Wiezak, bassist Luke Neale and drummer Paul Wechter. The band's sound is an energetic mixture of punk, dance and new wave, which is characterized by an emphasis on percussion with polyrhythmic qualities and a quirky sometimes described as 'violent' but simplistic duel between guitars with a danceable edge. In 2009 the band released their mini-album ''Cardio-Vascular'' which has been received with widespread acclaim from many notable publications. ==History== The band formed in 2003 as a hardcore punk band named 'The Tragic Vision' which consisted of Stephen Broadley, Michael King, Alex Wiezak, Jordan Daniel and Adam Mallabone. The band soon played many basement shows and house parties until less than a year later Jordan and Adam left the band. Soon after they recruited bassist Luke Neale and Drummer Jon McGovern. Developing their hardcore punk sound with many danceable qualities and soon becoming a fully fledged band they began gigging under name 'Mirror!Mirror!' in 2004. After a few months of relentless touring with bands such as Klaxons and Blood Red Shoes they released a split 7-inch record with Rolo Tomassi on Speedowax records.〔"(The fairest of them all? )", BBC, 27 January 2006, retrieved 2011-05-11〕 The band then went on a break which lasted a year and during this time Jon McGovern had left the band which led to the recruitment of Craig Thornicroft to play drums. During this time they abandoned their hardcore punk sound and replaced it with a more dance-oriented sound which holds the intensity of hardcore punk which they possessed in previous projects. The band released the single "Wolfgang Bang", which remains in their setlist. Soon they signed a deal with Holy Roar Records to release a seven track mini-album but decided to not work under the name 'Mirror!Mirror!' and changed their name to 'Youves'. While writing new material and touring non-stop through the UK and Europe they released their mini-album ''Cardio-Vascular'' in the spring of 2009 to positive reviews from the ''NME''〔Patashnik, Ben (2009) "(Album Review: Youves ''Cardio-Vascular'' )", ''NME'', 8 May 2009, retrieved 2011-05-11〕 and ''Rock Sound''〔(Rock Sound Review )〕 and the single and music video "Aladdins Rave"〔( Aladdins Rave Music Video )〕 was released with moderate rotation which also led to the band enjoying a considerable amount of press.〔(Press of Myspace page )〕 The band are currently writing and recording their debut full-length album, working with former drummer Craig Thornicroft. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
