Yeti: Brand New Monsters
Onetime Libertines bassist John Hassel is back at the helm of a new outfit - the gloriously feisty Yeti. Already looking set to break the top 30 with their debut single 'Never Lose Your Sense Of Wonder', Yeti came by Music: Response to chat and play live.
Emerging from the substantial shadows of messrs Barat and Doherty was never going to be easy, but John Hassel's new band Yeti proves that there was more than just two songwriting talents in the tabloid's favourite car crash.
John - along with bandmates Harmony Williams (guitar), Andrew Dean Jung (guitar) Brendan Kersey (bass) and Graham Blacow (drums) - hit Music: Response to explain his road to Damascus moment in a Coventry Holiday Inn Express, touring with Razorlight and the forthcoming Yeti album [listen] .

A jangling Kinks-style romp dripping with an all-too rare sense of optimism, Yeti's first single proves Hassel has the chops to stand on his own two feet.
Yeti 'Working For The Industry'
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
A 'Hard Day's Night' for the McJob generation, this melds the classic and the contemporary with seamless grace.
Yeti 'Merrygoround'

Exclusive Online Track!
Bleeding delicious vocal harmonies like a gutshot hemophiliac, 'Merrygoround' sucessfully marries a funfair theme with a heartbreaking tale of lost love.
