Yes Sir Boss! is an English, Bristol-based ska punk band, founded in 2007 at Falmouth University.[1] The band were signed under Stone'd Records and released an EP with the label, Desperation State, before self-releasing King in a Rocking Chair in 2014.
The band was founded by Matt Sellors, Luke potter, Tom First, Jehan Abdel-Malak, and Josh Stopford in 2007 while they were studying for their degrees. Their music has been described as reggae with teeth, energetic, and upbeat.[2][3] An opening show featuring Joss Stone was cancelled in 2007 after discovery of back ticket sales.[4]
In 2012, Yes Sir Boss signed with Stone'd Records, an independent record label founded by Grammy winning soul singer Joss Stone and, later that year, released their first label titled Desperation State.[5] FMV Magazine gave the album 3 stars citing confidence and flair while criticising the album for being formulaic at times.[6] Helen Earnshaw of Female First gave the album a 4 out of 5 rating in a review that describes the music as a successful blend of Balkan Blues and indie rock.[7]
In 2013, the band released a collaborated single featuring Stone titled Mrs #1.[8][9]
Yes Sir Boss toured music festivals in Europe and is scheduled to tour Germany, Netherlands, France, Austria, Switzerland and Scandinavia. A second album was released in April 2014 titled King in a Rocking Chair.[10]
