South Carolina-dark rock act The Yets release their debut album “Pinup Girl” on February 7th, but you can stream it exclusively already today on Side-Line. On top of that there’s the video for the title track which we can reveal today. The album is the follow-up to their 2022 eponymous debut EP.

Based in Myrtle Beach, The Yets consists of guitarist-producer Craig Anderson Snook and vocalist Robin Wilson. Craig Anderson Snook used to play guitar for several popular bands in the 1980s, including Gross Negligence. Robin used to tour with Skirt and Bachelors of Art (B.O.A.). Musically they combine dark rock with shoegaze elements.

Robin Wilson explains, “Our ‘Pinup Girl’ album is a sonic journey from youth into adulthood and beyond, tracking thought and emotion all along the way. Relationships are no accidental traveling companion to the music since, after all, that’s what life is really all about. Not just our relationships with each other, but our relationships with matters spiritual and universal in nature. Although there is a special meaning in each song for us, broad inclusion awaits all who listen carefully. We believe there’s a little something here for everyone and we hope you catch a glimpse of your reality in our ‘Pinup Girl’.”

As of February 7, ‘Pinup Girl’ is available on CD via Bandcamp and digitally from fine online music platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

South Carolina-based alternative rock outfit The Yets presents their new single “3’s”, that recounts the story of a circus performer teetering on a highwire, using her precarious balance as a powerful metaphor for the challenges of life.

The chorus introduces the central theme of “3’s”, capturing the idea that life’s challenges often come in waves-trinity, calamity, and the search for serenity amidst it all. The band adds: “Her realization that no one can save her from herself metaphorically deepens as she ponders the illusion of control and the fragility of her existence. Ultimately, the performer recognizes the beauty of her struggles yet understands she must face them alone.”

Previewing their debut album “Pinup Girl”, to be released in February, this new single arrives on the trail of the track, “Define The Man” (see the video further down).

Based in Myrtle Beach, The Yets consist of guitarist-producer Craig Anderson Snook and vocalist Robin Wilson, both natives of the state.

“Life is a three-ring circus, where ego and pride take center-stage, performing illusions of perfection until the act unravels, revealing the calamity beneath. This song captures the tension between the false perfection of the ego and the inevitable unraveling of that facade, and also explores the discord between the constructed self-image and the underlying truth of human vulnerability,” says Robin Wilson.

Craig Anderson Snook adds, “This song took on new dimensions for me when we did the video.  Robin’s theme evolved into images that conjured even more “3’s” in my mind … earth, fire, sky … birth, death, afterlife… body, soul, spirit … the list could go on.  Musically, it crosses a few interesting borders from doom, to joy, to mystery; in sound.”

In 2022, The Yets made their debut with an eponymous EP. They are now releasing their full-length album, “Pinup Girl” blending modern and classic rock elements with a dark touch.

Craig Anderson Snook, who played guitar for several popular bands in the 1980s, such as Gross Negligence, brings decades of musical experience to the duo.  Robin from her side is well known for her extensive touring with rock groups Skirt and  Bachelors of Art (B.O.A.).

As of November 19, the “3’s” single will be available fine online music stores and streamable via Spotify. The full album, out February 7, can be obtained digitally or on CD directly from the band via Bandcamp.
