Behind the glory of every brilliant album is a list of names that most people won’t know. They might not be the ones you see under the spotlight, but they are the bones and stones of music history. From songwriters, producers, and studio musicians, New Yank Yorkies is where a group of music professionals cross path, briefly shaking off some rare, extraordinary sparks before parting again. Like the crossroad of music, where diversity and contrasts burst in a unified sound, New Yank Yorkies, the Canadian alternative band that has something that is rare to see.

“Trick of the Heart” offers a flash of heart and honesty in its escalating, eclectic sonic bloom. Country twangs meet the blues, brewing in the warmth and distortion of rock. Their stadium-filling sound blends into an intoxicating vibe threading along with their impeccable performance, creating an immersive and satisfying listening experience that hits you hard and right. But at core, you hear that freedom and love in its purest form, and that’s something that’s going to haunt you for a while.

Read our interview with New Yank Yorkies:

Punk Head: I like the eclectic soundscape in “Trick Of The Heart.” Can you tell me more about “Trick Of the Heart”?

New Yank Yorkies: The band is ‘old school and proud of it.’ We do straight ahead guitar rock in the vein of say The Faces or Tom Petty. ‘Trick of the Heart’ follows that line. Driving rhythm section, guitars doing their thing, and solid lyrics and vocals.

PH: What are you most proud about this track?

NYY: We're proud of all our tracks mainly because it's such a challenge to get all the members in the same room at the same time to make our music. All the members individually keep pretty busy schedules touring and recording for multiple artists.

PH: What motivates you as artists?

NYY: At this point it's usually cash...but all the members of the band have made a life out of music..so..what motivates us? Making music...cash is good too.

PH: Who are your biggest influences?

NYY: Too many to say...We are all influenced by all kinds of music and artists from rock to folk to country to jazz.

PH: What is the one thing that you’d like your fans to know about you?

NYY: That's a secret.
