Yes Sir Boss new video - This is Bristol

Joss Stone's first signing, Bristol band Yes Sir Boss release their new single 'Not Guilty' this week through Stone'd Records.

Complete with a Spaghetti-Western style intro and infectious refrain,
it's all about "greed, conspiracy, and the contradictions flaunted by

our world leaders," says lead singer Matty. The single is taken from

their new EP 'Desperation State.'

Yes Sir Boss are an eclectic collection of six college friends

including Matt Sellors, bassist Josh Stopford, guitarist Luke Potter,

drummer Reuben Nimmo, trumpeter Tom Lad, and saxophonist Jehan

Abdel-Malak. Together they have cultivated a truly original, distinct

and indefinable sound that has elements of everything from a brooding

Balkan blues band to a horn injected indie rock outfit… In the end,

though, it's the melding of all their disparate sounds that makes YSB's

shambolic, funky, rootsy, tunes so unique.

Having captivated audiences across the UK, Yes Sir Boss have been

heralded for their energetic shows, earning them a reputation as one of

Britain's most dynamic new live bands. "At our gigs, you can expect a

mixture of musical influences and tight musicianship," promises Matt.

And he's not wrong. Last summer they completed a 40-date tour, including

headline slots at the likes of Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival,

Electric Picnic and Green Man, even finding time to record a Radio 1

Maida Vale session with Rob Da Bank.

So how did Joss Stone discover the boys? "We were on our way to a

gig," Josh recalls. "We were lost in the fog and I accidentally called

the first 'J' in my contacts, which happened to be Joss [Stone]." It

turns out Stone and Stopford had remained in touch since they were kids

and she'd been looking for a way to work with Yes Sir Boss. Josh

continues: "I said sorry, wrong number, but she said no I've been

meaning to talk to you – do you want to come and support me in

Amsterdam? Then, when she set up her own label it was like, I want to

sign you guys because I think you're wicked."

The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut

album, due for release this summer, whilst the 'Desperation State' EP is

available for download now. Catch Yes Sir Boss live this summer around
