Bursting into the Hong Kong indie music scene in 2005, The Yours have quickly established themselves with a reputation for their stunning live performances, which threatens to overshadow the superb production of their debut album, Abraham. Variously described as a mixture of post-punk and shoegazing, their music is punctuated by walls of fuzzed out guitar riffs and a steady, almost drum-machine like rhythm section, all reminiscent and worthy of their self-confessed influences , My Bloody Valentine and The Telescopes. Lead vocalist, Jack's deadpan voice provides a perfect compliment to such tracks as 'Tasteless', with its eerie evocation of the mind numbing vicissitudes of modern life/love. Similarly, it is such unimposing but totally catchy vocal/instrumental layerings in the epic 'Missed Call', or 'Abraham' that have secured The Yours' place in this year's Rockit music festival in Hong Kong.
