FEATURED IN NEW VALORANT TRAILER HERE

NEW YORK, NY (January 8, 2024) – Kickstarting another era, UK alternative disruptors YONAKA, comprised of Theresa Jarvis [vocals], Alex Crosby [bass], and George Werbrouck-Edwards [guitar], return with a chaotically catchy new single entitled “PREDATOR” via LAVA/Republic Records. “PREDATOR” soundtracks a new cinematic video for the video game VALORANT, developed by Riot Games The video is available on VALORANT’s official YouTube channel HERE. Fans can also listen to “PREDATOR”  HERE and watch the official lyric video HERE.

Additionally, Apple Music touted it as the cover of New Music Daily this week.

About the song, Theresa said, “It’s a vicious, fierce, and aggressive song that makes you wanna move like you’re possessed and scream at the same time. Lyrically it’s about standing up tall and fighting back. This is ‘PREDATOR’”.

Once again, YONAKA incinerates all expectations. Tense off-kilter drums set an uneasy tempo as guitars pierce through the haze. Meanwhile, Theresa’s manic delivery instantly transfixes on a menacingly catchy refrain as she confesses, “I’m wired. I’m hot. I started. Can’t stop. I come out on top. I’m the PREDATOR.” The accompanying visual adopts a “PREDATOR”-style first-person, filtered perspective on a compilation of explosive live footage.

Stay tuned for more soon!

The band just supported Barns Courtney on a North American tour. Earlier this year, they ignited the Welcome To My House EP featuring singles “PANIC”, “By The Time You’re Reading This”, and “Give Me My Halo.” The project has already amassed millions of streams in addition to attracting widespread acclaim. Kerrang! praised, “The seven-track EP doesn’t conform to one genre, with YONAKA dipping into wonderfully crafted pop hooks and gritty rock oomph. Basically: it’s an EP to quench any palette.” and Atwood Magazine praised how “the Brighton band are able to convey what’s hidden within and being forced to the surface; it bares innards with no holds barred.” The Honey Pop christened them “a breakthrough band to keep your eye on.
