About This Track
‘Anthem’ by Yonaka is a 2021 rock track from the album ‘Seize the Power’. The lyrics cast a restive, outward-facing challenge, pressing the listener to decide whether freedom is real or just another line fed to them, amid images of being pushed around and reduced to a role. There’s a persistent hunger for self-definition, captured in the narrator’s drive to find their own feet, after hearing a promise relayed by the radio. The song’s energy comes from that argument with conformity, and the insistence that words can be made to mean something, if they are taken and used.
"Anthem" is a track by Yonaka, from the album Seize the Power, released 14th July 2021. The track is 3:49 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Yonaka.

Yonaka are stoked. In a couple of days, the Brighton bunch return to the stage by virtue of Download's huge Pilot weekender (spoiler alert, they ace it)...
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...
As their much-anticipated debut album finally arrives, Yonaka are ready to fly high.
Yonaka have had a busy summer. The band who took to The Great Escape, full of blurred lines, jagged edges and a hurried want for the party to start on their own terms were not the same beast by the time Reading & Leeds rolled around. That need to get things moving was still ever present, but carried by a confidence in the build and the thrill of the chase, they were bigger, better and more potent. With a handful of anthems-in-waiting at their disposal and the buzz of the new, Yonaka bloomed. Tonight as the headline London’s The Borderline, things change once more. Starting the excitement from scratch, the gang colour the night in their own terms. From the word go, they toy with light and shade, fury and frenzy. There’s a space to play so of course Yonaka use it. Four songs in and ‘Wouldn’t Wanna Be Ya’ hits. Instantly the excitement finds a new level to bounce from and carnage reigns. The whirling chaos carries on through ‘Drongo’ as Yonaka push for more. Constantly driving things forward and pushing at the walls, theirs is an undeniable energy that lights up the room. Normally the slow burn of ‘All In My Head’ is used as a pause for breath but tonight, there’s simply no stopping them. ‘Ignorance’ and ‘Bubblegum’ lift things even further, a flurry of electric shapes, realised potential and swaggering wonder. There’s always been something special to Yonaka, an attitude and a need for space, and tonight sees them taking control in glorious high-definition.
This Brighton band have been taking festivals by storm this summer - and this is just the beginning.
