SCRUFF OF THE NECK Yeah Yeah Yeah

Fresh from launching their 2025 stadium tour with Oasis and celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album "All Change", Cast are heading into 2026 strong with the release of their new album "Yeah Yeah Yeah". The band previewed the record with lead single "Poison Vine", featuring soul legend P.P. Arnold, which premiered on Radio 2 with Vernon Kaye. Quote from John Power about the album: “"Yeah Yeah Yeah" just arrived out of the blue. I just took a chance. I had some ideas for a new album I’d been working on, but we weren’t planning on recording until the year after. It all happened very fast. There was a window of opportunity — Youth was free, the studio was free, and the band were free — and I thought, let providence prevail. No one had heard the songs apart from myself and Alan McGee, but we both thought that we had something. You could feel it, even though none of the songs were really finished, and so we decided to roll with it and go and record them. I think with "Yeah Yeah Yeah" it was more than just trying to capture a vibe — it was about trying to record something majestic, which is how Youth describes the record. There are gospels and strings on tracks like “Free Love” and “Don’t Look Away”, which have kind of turned into these massive anthems. It has P.P. Arnold as a featured vocalist on a couple of tracks — the first, the single “Poison Vine”, which has a groove and a blistering chorus. She’s also on another song that’s a psychedelic funk track, “The Way It’s Gotta Be (Oh Yeah)”. Songs like “Teardrops” or “Birds Heading South” — we’ve tried to capture that classic, slightly wistful theme — whereas “The Weight of the World” just rocks out. There’s also a little acoustic track to break it all up called “The Devil and the Deep”, which is a favourite of mine. We recorded the album over in Spain at Space Mountain, Youth’s studio, way up in the mountains, just as the almond trees were in blossom — which I took as a good omen for the session.” Product Details Artist: CAST Title: Yeah Yeah Yeah Catalogue Number: SOTN124CD Barcode: 5060675601495 Label: SCRUFF OF THE NECK Tracklisting 1.
