Good Day Noir Family,
The moment Barnsley Market begins, it grabs your attention with an electric charge. A sharp, guitar arpeggio opens the track, accompanied by a punchy, hard-hitting drumbeat.

There’s something immediately raw about the intro—an unfiltered energy that hooks you right away.
The driving bass adds a touch of grit, pulling you into a world where intensity and distortion reign supreme. This isn’t just another alternative rock track; it lays a heavy foundation of sound from the outset.
As the vocals kick in, a darker, almost brooding atmosphere emerges. The band’s approach channels the spirit of 90s alt-rock legends like Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden, but also more modern acts like Ghost.
But Yes Chris has found a way to carve out their own musical niche, blending a more refined sense of melody with the rugged edge of grunge.
The vocals carry an air of melancholy, but they’re sharp enough to cut through the thick walls of sound that surround them. The track feels like stepping into an unfamiliar, twilight world, where tension hangs in the air, and the lines between light and dark blur.
One of the standout moments in the song comes during a brief, unexpected guitar break—a solo that cuts through the track like a flash of light in a darkened room. It serves as a moment of reflection before the song builds back up to its next phase.
When the riff comes back, introduces a change in rhythm that feels almost jarring at first. But that’s what makes it so effective—it catches you off guard and pulls you in all over again.
That shift provides a perfect segue into the song’s chorus, which feels like an eruption of all the energy that’s been building up.
“Barnsley Market” is a track that shows just how capable Yes Chris are when it comes to songwriting. It’s not just about the heavy distortion or the driving beats; it’s about the layers they craft within their sound.

Solid!
Yes Chris bring a powerful and infectious, guitar led blend of driving rhythms and melody. Having been described as “Electrifying guitar-driven energy and melodic grandeur” and “transfixing, eruptive and bold”, their impactful sound and live shows are not to be missed.
They’ve been called Shoegaze, Alt Rock, Post Rock and even Grunge, but like to leave the genre to the listener. Maybe they are all of these and more, maybe they are none.
