YONAKA: "This chapter is about owning your shit and taking the power"

It's an exciting time for Brighton band YONAKA. With barely any downtime following the release of debut album 'Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow', they spent the immediate aftermath touring their socks off and collaborating with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, and then last year's washout writing pretty much non-stop. The results of those sessions are about to hit full-force, starting with comeback single 'Seize The Power' - a typically assertive, ambitious outing that could have only come from YONAKA. Lead vocalist Theresa Jarvis explains how it came to be.

Hi Theresa! What are you up to today?
Currently sitting in our studio (aka my living room) right now, with Rob and Alex. We're just doing some more writing. Feeling really good considering how the world is right now. Feels really good to go into a new year with lots of music and visuals to release.

It's been a while since we've heard from you guys, your last release was the Bring Me The Horizon collaboration, wasn't it? That must've been fun to do.
Yeah, it's been too long! Over a year and a half since we released any new material, so we are for a better word gagging to get the new stuff out. I love the song 'Tapes' I did with Bring Me. I still listen to it often; it's so pretty and strange, and I just love it, that was really fun to do! It's sick when you collab with another artist because it takes you to spaces where you wouldn't usually think of and go doing it yourself, so we have a few collabs coming in future stuff.
