Yonaka are a four-(wo)man band from Brighton, with lead singer Theresa Jarvis as its centrepiece. The band name is Japanese for ‘dead of night’, and that’s exactly where their sound thrives best; dark alt.pop with heavy riffs and catchy hooks. Good luck getting that out of your head!

Live, the band give it their all, and that live sound translates well to their new EP Teach Me To Fight. Fired Up is my favourite track off it.
