RecommendThe Yours are a Hong Kong band that has been paying attention to international music. This debut is a crunching droning monster that equally evokes early 90’s shoegazing and fuzz-toned post-rock. The sound is BIG, going to eleven while still being melodic and catchy. The Yours put the Power in Power Pop. “Another Teen” kicks off the record with a burst of pure joy, like the one you got when you heard the first Matthew Sweet single in the middle of a shitty music season. The title track, the huge “Missed Call”, and “Cigarette to Start The Day” are rough, Dolls-esque rock, driven the twin guitar attack of Jack and Nic (single names only for these guys, thanks). The rhythm section of Azia on bass and Ho on drums complete the lineup of those about to rock. This is what The Strokes promised and never delievered.
