Yard Act are a post-punk rock band from Leeds, UK.

The band formed in 2019 with Ryan Needham (bass) and James Smith (vocals) creating minimalist rock tracks using a drum machine and a borrowed bass guitar.

They later drafted in George Townend on drums and Sammy Robinson on guitar, but both members have since departed. Alongside Needham and Smith, the current line-up features Sam Shipstone and Jay Russell.
