Bristol-based rockers Yes Sir Boss - first signing of Joss Stone’s new record label Stone’d Records - have unveiled the new music video for their track ‘Not Guilty’. You can check it out below.
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. 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."
‘Not Guilty’, the lead track from their EP, is out now. Whilst the band put the finishing touches to their debut album for a summer release, ‘Desperation State’ is also currently available for download.
