Heavy metal and hard rock act from Germany, formed in 2020. The band blends traditional heavy metal with alternative rock elements, delivering a modern take on classic hard-hitting sounds.
Formed in Oakland, California in 1974 as Yesterday and Today, Y&T are among the most accomplished hard rock acts to emerge from the Bay Area, releasing two albums on London Records before shortening their name and signing to A&M Records in 1981. The trio of albums Earthshaker (1981), Black Tiger (1982), and Mean Streak (1983) represent their commercial and artistic high point, fueled by guitarist and vocalist Dave Meniketti's expressive playing and the band's melodic hard rock craftsmanship. In Rock We Trust (1984) became their best-selling record, and the band has sold over four million albums worldwide despite never achieving the mainstream prominence their craft warranted.
