YAM consists of: - Jason English - Brewmaster . - Patrick Lenihan - Lawnmaster, and Chris Smith - Grillmaster. They are manly men with manly habits, as long as it is not too hot outside to enjoy the above 3 activities.
Formerly a musical project called You & Me, the newly reconstituted trio may appear with varying alternate melodic and rhythmic specialists in live experiments.

The research team as we know YAM today consists of people who were or are playing in other teams (Squelch's, The Gift, Hop'd, Deep Snapper, Fruitcake-Superbeing). In 2004 founding members English & Lenihan started recording their musical observations as a project called "You & Me" with another lead guitarist (W.Kelley), English handling drums and Sal Torneo also drumming on a couple songs. 3 experiments quickly turned into 9, and soon they had a full-blown album on their hands and played a few gigs.
Listeners describe the sensation of You & Me as progressive rock, yet with a lot more casual melody and 70s-style groove pop rhythm than that.
Now reformed as the harder, sweeter potato of YAM, the band adds drummer Chris Smith and they have collaborated to write their first album for 2009 titled "Assumptions" which bridges their prog/punk roots while crossing into some new flavors of techno, country and punk. Look for "Assumptions" in April 2009!
