Recorded alongside his band The Breakers, ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ was produced by Justin Raisen and Lewis Pesacov (Kim Gordon, Joji, Charli XCX). Capturing a lighthearted and rambunctious spirit, ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ was a fan favourite from Cruz’ debut headline tour earlier this year. The track’s title word acts as a catchy refrain as the band summon their captivating chemistry, resulting in a high-energy offering.

About the track, Cruz says: “I’ve always kind of been a little s**t growing up. Lucky for me, that cheeky and unserious side of myself was never muffled, and in maturing I try to stay true to myself. I feel like this track is about the moments where you want to make life slightly less serious and just have a bit of fun”

‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ follows recent releases ‘Waste Your Pain’ alongside the coming-of-age classic Risky Business inspired music video, and ‘For Your Love’, the song that acted as Cruz, Justin and Lewis’ eureka moment in the studio, acting as the sonic cornerstone that formed his musical identity. All following Cruz’s debut single ‘Optics’ released alongside ‘Lick The Toad’ earlier this year, marking the beginning of Cruz’s long-awaited musical journey.

Earlier this year Cruz completed his debut headline UK tour that saw him and his band The Breakers play formative venues across the country before in three sold out nights at The Courtyard Theatre in London.

The London shows saw The London Standard praising Cruz as "impish, likeable, possessed of a clear talent" in their 4 Star review, CLASH saying "This is a band on the come up, leaning into the music first. No overproduction, no pretense, just a tight, energetic set with real moments of personality and potential”, and Metro adding “He might just be a rock star in the making. He can sing, he’s a great guitarist, and nothing about his new venture seems forced.” Elsewhere on the tour there was further praise from fans and critics alike, with The Guardian describing his performance as “[uncovering] psych-pop worthy of further investigation”, whilst The Times said "His enthusiasm is infectious", and The Telegraph praised their performance saying "The band, clearly having the time of their lives, are impressively tight, and Cruz’s guitar playing is more than a match for the more seasoned musicians".

Kicking off in June, Cruz will be embarking on his debut US headline tour, alongside some major festival appearances including Reading & Leeds, Rock N Roll Circus, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Shaky Knees.
