The Yo-Yos are a rock n'roll band, formed in 1998 by bassist, Danny McCormack (The Wildhearts), alongside guitarist Tom Spencer (Sugarsnatch) after the two met at a Toy Dolls recording session. The Yo-Yo's recruited Bladz (Andy Selway) (Sugarsnatch) on drums & guitarist, Neil Phillips (B-Movie Heroes) to the band.
The Yo-Yo's recorded their first single, entitled "Out Of My Mind" & then joined The Backyard Babies for a UK tour. Another single was then recorded, entitled "Rumble(d)." The Yo-Yo's continued to tour the UK & were then signed by Sub Pop.
On the Sub Pop label, the Yo-Yo's released their debut album, Uppers & Downers on CD & LP in 2000, but then broke up in 2001.
2005 saw the Yo-Yo's reform, with a new lineup, including Rich Jones (Amen, The Black Halos) on guitar. The band recorded a new album, entitled "Given Up Giving Up" & embarked on another UK tour, this time with AntiProduct. The new lineup, did not last, breaking up partway through the tour, however Danny completed the tour, with "Any Given Day" providing a band for him to front.
