Boston-based Americana rockers, Swinging Steaks, celebrate the release of "YoYo", their first new album of all-new material in nearly 20 years.
Co-produced by the group and Boston rock legend Dave Minehan (Neighborhoods, Replacements), "YoYo" features 11 original tunes from writers Jamie Walker, Tim Giovanniello and Jim Gambino. The sole cover was written by "Big" Al Anderson (x-NRBQ) and multi-platinum artist Chris Stapleton.

The self-release of "YoYo" lands as the Steaks mark the 30th anniversary of "Southside of the Sky", their national debut on legendary Capricorn Records. Their last full-length, "Sunday Best", was released on Blue Rose Records (Germany) and First National Records (US) in 2004.
Comprised of virtually all original members (rounded out by Paul Kochanski on bass and 20-year vet "new guy" Andy Plaisted on drums), the Steaks live show offers audiences an opportunity to witness the magic of a band forged by over three decades together onstage. Reflecting their sheer joy of playing together, the Steaks dynamic, charismatic performance can't be fabricated.
