yardley is a melodic, melancholic rock band with a little Americana thrown in. Melodic, melancholic rock, ala Coldplay and Travis, and Americana ala Wilco. But Yardley's front person is a girl. Based in Los Angeles, they've created their own niche. Their music is incredibly dynamic and full of emotion. Beautiful chord progressions and melodies, complimented by thought-provoking lyrics. And there should be a big red circle with a slash that says "No cliches."
Front person, Lee Beth Kilgore, says, "Songwriting is an art. Yes, this is true, but what makes it art? Maybe the mere fact that someone wrote it and put it out in the world makes it art. What I believe makes it art, is what the listener does with it once it's out there. Sometimes a song calls for straight to the point lyrics, that you don't have to read into. But for the most part, I like lyrics to be a little cryptic. So the listener can decide for him or herself what it means to them."
Among the members of Yardley, there are years of musical study and background. Lee Beth began studying music theory at age 3. Mel is favored by the band to be the most proficient musician in Yardley. Steve and Tommy are the “tourers,” having toured around the world as members of successful bands, prior to Yardley.
Yardley transcends gender bias. They fall in the gap between the ever prevalent female solo artists and male fronted bands. Yardley is somewhere in between. And yes, they are good with children.

Yardley are a melancholy indie rock band from Los Angeles. This foursome rock out melodic rock tracks in a similar ilk to bands like Coldplay and Travis, although with a distinctive American sound… oh, plus the main vocalist is female. Their track Get There has “melancholy anthem” written all over it; the rhythm and melody are brilliant, and the vocals are soulful, emotional, and addictive. All four of the tracks on their page are worth checking out, each with its own angle on fantastic music and deep lyrics.
