> Frontiers Records to release the anticipated YOSO debut album

> Former members of YES and TOTO return with a new band
>
> Napoli, May, 2010 – The term “Super-Group” can only describe the band
> arising out of two of the most creative bands of the past 30 years: YOSO
> is formed out of TOTO’s brilliant lead vocalist Bobby Kimball and the
> creative force of former YES members, Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood, thus
> equalling the magic of YES with the voice of TOTO. However, YOSO is much
> more than a combination of two classic rock groups. The band’s debut album
> “Elements” - which comes together with a bonus live CD where the band
> plays some old and new classics – presents a fascinating combination of
> the sound of YES (”90125″/”Big Generator” era) and TOTO, with a very
> interesting and original sound that truly encompasses the styles.
>
> “Elements” will see the light of day on July 2nd in Europe and July 27th
> in the USA, where the band has already scheduled a number of tour dates in
> support of the album’s release, on Frontiers Records.
>
> Even though the band’s heritage is from 2 classic bands, YOSO intends to
> become its own identifiable entity in a very short time, YOSO’s collective
> mission is to make the next decade one where YOSO’s music will be held up
> alongside their classic rock backgrounds as a band as important as TOTO
> and YES.
>
> Billy Sherwood recalls: “YOSO was started when I suggested to Bobby
> Kimball we should write some new music and form a band, we had been
> working together on various tribute projects I was producing and one thing
> lead to another, before too long we had 5 songs in the can and were well
> on our way to making a record and thinking seriously about taking it to
> the next level. Once there was a few songs underway the concept grew into
> the band we now have, “YOSO”.
>
> YOSO line-up was later rounded out with two amazingly gifted musicians:
> Johnny Bruhns as the guitarist and background vocalist and Scott Conner on
> drums, percussion and background vocals.
>
> YOSO does indeed have the magic of YES and the voice of TOTO. However, in
> 2010 the band intends to convince fans of both bands that the brilliance
> of YOSO will be just as celebrated in the years to come.
