About
New Record. Same Band.
Canadian rockers Yukon Blonde (Jeffrey Innes, Brandon Scott, Graham Jones, James Younger) make melodic indie pop with an Americana edge. Originally from Kelowna, British Columbia, the band has been based in Vancouver since 2009. The seasoned quartet has spanned decades as indie-rock darlings, charted singles on alternative radio, and built a dedicated audience as mainstays of the club touring circuit.
Drawing from power pop, the Beatles, 70s and classic rock, their latest album Friendship & Rock n’ Roll delivers bold riffs and bright vibes. With playful guitar lines and air-tight arrangements, the band showcases both their garage rock sensibilities and acoustic pop songwriting. Yukon Blonde combines the best of both worlds to make music that is infectious, tender, and deeply human.
The band has toured the US and Canada, playing festivals such as South by Southwest. In 2010, the band was named as one of the "10 Canadian bands destined to break in 2010" by the CBC and was nominated for the Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 2013.
Over 15 years later, Yukon Blonde are still leaning on each other and tapping the well of their bond. And what better glue is there to bond them than Friendship & Rock n’ Roll?
