Sam Shipstone is the guitarist for Yard Act, the Mercury Prize-nominated band known for their razor-sharp post-punk and acerbic social commentary. With a distinctive playing style that's equal parts angular riffing and melodic subversion, Sam is central to the band's dynamic sound — at once taut, sardonic, and surprisingly danceable. Whether on stage or in the studio, his guitar work adds a crucial layer of character and chaos to Yard Act's ever-evolving sonic identity.
