The band Y formed in Bristol in the early 2000s, with Mark Hamilton on vocals, James Russell on guitar, John Kennedy on bass, and John Scott on drums. Their debut album came out in 2002, and its lead single 'Glad It's Over' became a hit. They put out several more albums through the 2000s, including 'Caught in the Crossfire' in 2004 and 'The End of the Road' in 2010.
Y's music had a raw energy that drew a following, though it also attracted some criticism for being too dark. The band played major festivals, but internal conflicts and personal struggles were part of their story too. They eventually disbanded in 2010.
Songs like 'Glad It's Over' and 'Stop It!' show the straightforward, melodic side of their work that connected with listeners. Their catalog from that decade still gets played.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
