Today, they shared their latest single, “Sizzle,” to showcase the high-energy instrumental vibrations set to ignite stages and dance floors during their travels.

Recorded by Marshall Deasy at Progressive Studios in Elizabethtown, Pa., the track begins with a captivating guitar and organ-driven motif, seamlessly transitioning into skillful improvisation before launching into an electrifying funk-infused dance party. To commemorate the release, Yam Yam treated fans to an in-studio video directed by Kieffer Smith.

The band’s momentum continues to build following the announcement of their highly anticipated performance at The Peach Music Festival in Scranton, Pa.
