Yes Basketball was created by singer and drummer Pierre Marolleau in 2018, following an injury during a basketball match that put him out of action for a couple of months, the perfect time to start making some music. Pierre was soon joined by band members, Yoann Buffeteau (Montgomery) and Jérémy Rouault (Bumpkin Island). Yes Basketball isn't likely to ever choose between the bestial rage of wild Hip-Hop or spicy Post-Punk, imbued with Pop or R'n'B vocal harmonies. Jumping along the way of this arduous trip, you'll be tasting a madness that is at times wise and at others dark and raw. The latter is what they bring to closing track, "Next".
