English quartet Yonaka combine heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and on-stage punk furor like the wild spawn of and. Fronted by the fiery Theresa Jarvis, the group debuted in the 2010s with their debut EP Heavy, later issuing their debut Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow in 2019.

The Brighton-based band -- comprising vocalist Theresa Jarvis, guitarist George Edwards, bassist Alex Crosby, and drummer Robert Mason -- met in college while each member played in different bands. They got together in 2014 and quickly gained a reputation for their formidable live shows. In 2016, they issued their debut single, "Ignorance," followed by "Drongo." The next year they released "Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya" before the arrival of their first EP, Heavy, which featured the single "Bubblegum." In 2019, Yonaka returned with their debut full-length, Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow, which included the singles "Bad Company" and "Creature." Riding a wave of U.K. acclaim, they saw their debut rise into the Top 40 and later teamed with for the collaboration "Tapes."

Since 2015, multi-instrumentalist Requin Chagrin aka Marion Brunetto has been gracing ears with sonic niceties. Fusing elements of Californian rock, English noisy-pop, with timeless French style, the end result is something which Brunetto refers to as ‘nostalgic pop’. With two acclaimed records under her belt, the eponymous debut ‘Requin Chagrin’ (2015), and the follow-up ‘Sémaphore’ (2019), all eyes are on Chagrin’s next move. On the day she announced her third record to the world, the highly anticipated, ‘BYE BYE BABY’

Hold Requin Chagrin to your ear, and you’ll hear the sea, bitterness, the sound of crashing waves and the waves of melancholy.

Behind an almost oxymoronic name hides a hypersensitive beast with a sharp tongue, swimming in the extreme depths of chanson while surfing the barrels of pop and rock. For her second album, singer, songwriter, composer and musician Requin Chagrin aka Marion Brunetto found better yet than docks: a semaphore, a beacon to save her from the eye of her emotional storms.

Winning Song
Lose Our Heads Have we all gone blind? Falling under the times Cooped up at home, too comfortable to go outside Never satisfied Too lazy to fight Slowly brainwashed we forgot how to live our lives We can sleep when we're dead Yes, we could make a mess We don't do it now, then later Oh boy, we could regret We can wake up wasted Spend the whole day in bed There are rules to follow, lose our innocence Teach me how to love I'm asking you to break my heart in half Drag me straight to Hell So I can know that Heaven exists as well Let's lose our heads No more wasting time Get your appetite No one can touch us, we're the rulers of their lives The words I design So they fool our eyes Making mistakes I own and don't apologise We can sleep when we're dead Yes, we could make a mess We don't do it now, then later Oh boy, we could regret We can wake up wasted Spend the whole day in bed There are rulers to follow, lose our innocence Teach me how to love I'm asking you to break my heart in half Drag me straight to Hell So I can know that Heaven exists as well Let's lose our heads, our heads Forget where we're from Leave this world behind, it's time to be reborn So come alive, take a little trip Leave this life, been here forever but We've got to leave A roller coaster no one else can ride Teach me how to love I'm asking you to break my heart in half Drag me straight to Hell So I can know that Heaven exists as well Teach me how to love I'm asking you to break my heart in half Drag me straight to Hell So I can know that Heaven exists as well Let's lose our heads, our heads Forget where we're from Leave this world behind, it's time to be reborn Let's lose our heads
