Long time friend of Surprise Attacks Howard Kenny, who you will know from the sadly defunct The Broken Oak Duet, returns with a new band called Mt. Yonder who are sounding amazing. Featuring ex members of Shapes, Blakfish, To The Wall, and &U&I, the pedigree is high and it doesn’t disappoint.
Get on it, show them some love. Cannot wait to see them live ✊️
