Yanna& theRTRDS
An old-soul revival outfit playing the songs your grandad snuck out the back door for — Beatles, Stones, Kinks, and the dirtier corners of the British Invasion.
★ Track 01 — The Band
We make old songs sweat again.
Yanna and the RTRDS are a Plymouth-born four-piece raised on crackly LPs and pub jukeboxes. We pull tunes out of the 1960s attic — Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Who — and play them like we wrote them ourselves.
No clicktrack. No tablets. Just a back-line, a few drinks, and a room full of strangers singing the same chorus by minute four. If you remember dancing to it, your kid will too.

★ Track 02 — The Line-Up
Who's on stage.
Four from Plymouth. We trade off vocals, harmonise into each other's microphones, and occasionally remember whose round it is.

★ Track 03 — The Records
The LPs we'd open for.
Twelve British Invasion sleeves stacked beside the turntable. The blueprint, the rule book, and the reason we plug in on Thursday nights.
