Gothic folk / punk outfit O'Death will tour this spring to celebrate their 10th Anniversary as a band, with a date at the North Star Bar on April 20th. Over the course of its decade-long career, the Brooklyn band has recorded three full-lengths of "Appalachian rust-punk," most recently putting their songs to tape on 20112s ... Continue reading

So whatever stupid New Year's resolution you thought you could accomplish has probably crumbled and you're smoking at it again. That's okay, because quitting things is not what you need to be up to.

Wild Yaks are the most gloriously messy band. They spit out ragged lyrics that both romanticize New York and tear it apart. They break up and get back together again. Members quit and are folded ... read more
Sorry we're a little late with the New Release Spotlight this week. The holidays are kind of a music industry deadzone so I really wanted to dig deep and give a lot of bands I wasn't as familiar with a chance. I hope you'll do the same!

We can only assume Pitbull 's new album, Global Warming , is a tribute to the warm reception from his recent near-Arctic trip to Kodiak, Alaska. However, somehow we doubt it. Pitbull isn't the only one putting a new record out this week though. Nicki Minaj reloads or re-ups Pink Friday AGAIN this week, and a few other artists (such as The Faint and t.a.t.u. ) do the same for older albums that actually warrant reissues. Elvis Costello collects songs from films for In Motion Pictures , [...]

It's a rock n roll type of day here at ATH, and this rockin' number comes your way from yet another talented Brooklyn band Wild Yaks . It's a tasty little tune that reminds me of something on the side of Fang Island. Stay tuned to November 20th for the release of their album Million Years. Hope you enjoy it.
Frankly, it was hard not to fall for the bar-fly folk-punk complaints of Wild Yaks ' first album 'Ten Ships (Don't Die Yet)'. Not that any of the record, which they released in 2009, was much of a sugar-coated treat, but something about the rough heavy-handed approach, and those four voices pulling off hazardous harmonies, was most definitely a charmer in its own right. In the same way The Beast is to Beauty, I guess. Or Shane McGowan to most. But for any left on the fence after the first effort, the Brooklyn trio are back hitting harder, with [...]
Brooklyn's Wild Yaks will release their new album, Million Years , on November 20 via the folks at Ernest Jennings Recording Company. We've got the premiere of the album's charmingly ragged, anthemic title track which you can stream at the bottom of this post. Wild Yaks will be going out on tour to support the album's release, hitting the road with O'Death and World Inferno Friendship Society . While there are not NYC dates at the moment for that tour, Wild Yaks will be playing next week during CMJ: [...]
Great interview with some song clips thrown in.
I can't even imagine the Lower East Side without The Cake Shop , which has been going through some financial hardships as of late. The loss of this venue would mean that the more noisy, experimental, and DIY side of the NYC scene would have abandoned Manhattan once and for all. And noisy, experimental and DIY music is a huge and seminal component of what this scene has expressed since the 60s. Ya man, it all happened in Manhattan - nobody gave a crap about the Brooklyn scene until the aughts! This is why we should all make an [...]

Brooklyn's Cameo Gallery is hosting a garage-rock lover's wet dream on Saturday, May 5th. Headliners, Wild Yaks bring their cheerfully haphazard, loud rock and unified choruses to the stage. Once already lovingly referred to as "Brooklyn's drunk folk-punk icons" by The Deli, their live performances are a guaranteed good time regardless of whether or not you're familiar with their tunes. Raccoon Fighter pave the way for the Yaks, with their rockin', seductive garage jams. Raccoon Fighter's big, raw sound and powerful guitars are soulful and even bluesy when combined with their emotive vocals. Self-proclaimed "American dance-punk [...]
The Yaks are back after taking a short hiatus to record their new album. On Friday they played the backyard of the Grand Street Bakery, which is a killer space. They should have more shows back there. Despite being completely shit-faced the set was pretty killer. I took a bunch of pics and shot some video of it. I still need to upload the pics but check out the sweet HD (make sure to toggle it to

Consequence Of Sound
Consequence Of SoundRobert Bryn, frontman of Brooklyn four-piece Wild Yaks , once predictably described his band as “wild animals with big horns” – the wild yak kind, not the brass; it’s all guitar on Million Years , their latest LP. It’s still a spot-on descriptor, and here are some more: Almost every lyric on Million Years is shouted by the whole band in unison, “all-out joyful” is pretty much the only mode they know how to operate in, and they repeatedly sing a woman’s first name on two consecutive songs, “Felice” and “Anabelle”. Million Years [...]
