The Yarbles

Surface Unsigned Reviews



Words by Stephen Hudyba



Round 1 April 19th 2008 @ The Rainbow, Birmingham



The Yarbles



The Third band of the evening was Leicester based four-piece The Yarbles. Musically

it’s the same sort of witty, energetic and shambolic Brit-Rock that took The Libertines

so far, yet the band bring in enough fresh, distinctive ideas into their music to ensure

they make their sound their own.  Some sharp guitar riffs, tight beats

(with excellent use of tempo-changes), an intense performance, well-written material

and a first-rate vocal combination from Tom and Max are the hallmarks of a surprisingly

deep sound from a band with some real talent and potential.



Round 2 June 17th 2008 @ The Medicine Bar, Birmingham



The Yarbles



The fourth band of the evening was Leicester based four-piece The Yarbles. Raw,

energetic and distinctively British Indie, they’ve got a great sound and perform with

intensity and wit that distinguishes them as a rare and exciting talent. Strong, well

written material with clever lyrics, catchy riffs and tight beats, they’ve got some

first-rate tracks which should serve them well. A great mixture of classic and

contemporary sounds makes for a strong direction that’s both innovative yet firmly

rooted in the music you know and love – it’s a tricky balance to get right but they pull

it off flawlessly.
