Indie Band Yes You Are Releases O HOLY NIGHT Cover Ft. Calvin Arsenia

You've probably already heard Yes.You.Are. as their first single "HGX" debuted on Pepsi's Superbowl 51. The song was also featured in the hit movie Bad Moms, as well as FX's Tyrant and MTV's Scream.

"We play black pop." says Kianna Alarid, Yes You Are's intense front woman, "It implies that there might be shadows lurking, even in the shiny places." Listening to their upcoming album, it IS essentially pop, but they redefine the genre with each and every song. From gospel choirs to guitar-heavy rock to synth-covered dance rhythms, the mainstay (and mainstream friendly) sing-along hooks are what binds all of their work together.

Alarid cut her teeth in the critically-acclaimed indie band Tilly and the Wall, touring through the mid to late aughts with bands such as She and Him, Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, Of Montreal and CSS, playing venues around the world and hitting major festivals like Coachella, Japan's Summersonic, Iceland Airwaves, Reading, Leeds, Scotland's T In The Park and Australia's Splendor In The Grass as well as performing on Late Night with David Letterman and Sesame Street.
