(Have You Ever Seen The Jane Fonda Aerobic VHS?)

HYESTJFAVHS? - they're actually called Have You Ever Seen the Jane Fonda Aerobic VHS but that's rather a mouthful - have a brilliant new track out called "Family Man", and it's our Song Of The Day.

The threesome are based in Kouvola, and despite probably the most ridiculous band name in recent memory, they're spectacular. "Family Man" is a hurricane of '80s synthpop, dreamy textures and bubblegum vibes - for a band dubbed "flower garage", it's odd that they've opted to jettison guitars, replacing the fuzz with "retro Casio and Eco-organs", but it clearly works. "Family Man" is drenched in brazen hedonistic tendencies, and as they thrash around with old synths and punk-flecked vocals, it's hard not to be suckered into their glee.

Speaking about the cut, the trio say: "'Family Man' presents the band at its best with its rich but simple melodies, trashy sound and rock action attitude."

"Family Man" will be released as a single on 21 August. It's taken from HYESTJFAVHS?'s upcoming debut record Teenage Sweetheart, which is out digitally in September via VILD and physically (Finland only) on Airiston Punk-levyt.

The band are set to play at Helsinki's Flow Festival tomorrow night (14 August).
