Remember the noise the Super Nintendo made when you sleighed it against your wall whilst taking a whooping at Mario Cart? If not, please allow us to introduce Fife's leading (well… ok, only) bleep-buggering 8-bit bandits Yoshi, an enigmatic musical collective heavily influenced by video-gaming, a vivid culture that Yoshi have melded, via 8-bit computer game samples, with their own melodic world of upbeat, three-part harmonies, analog synth and dirty guitar.
In the past few years, the Scottish music scene has evolved into something of a mighty beast and challenging to meet its expectations with something that’s truly original. These faceless creators strive to meet these challenges head on.
Yoshi’s vision based on Japanese video-game and culture; of sights and sounds dreamt of, visualized and brought forth to an expectant audience, ready for something bright and undeniably different. Crowding the stage like a funky free-style Happy Mondays, they fire off the likes of ‘Headphones’, which sees a kind of phat ass ghettoblasted beat the Beasties favoured back in '92, before a distortion doused guitar and deep bass grooves rattles its way in and announces their fleuro-punk arrival. A heady blitz of acid-house, Manga and Mega Drive digi-pop menace certify it's the maddest thing to come out of Fife since, well, forever…
'Save the Children' is Yoshi's 2nd single from their forth coming Album. Released on their own label Fwoosh Records. Available from the 25th of August 2008 as a limited edition CD and 7" Vinyl right now from myspace.
