8/9 Stars
Vancouver based soul and rock group New Yank Yorkies debuts a new single titled “Bring Back the Love.” A song that embraces bringing everyone together with a classic rock folk vibe from start to finish. Imagine sitting in a laid back bar with images of guitar strumming and foot tapping to a well honed feeling of togetherness.
