You Say Party! We Say Die! are reaching fever pitch in Vancouver’s indie rock scene with their insanely catchy beats and viciously fun live show.

YSP! got their start in April 2004 with their independently released EP entitled "dansk wad" (dance squad). Today "Hit the Floor" is charting top 10 nationally and garnering media attention from Pitchfork, Vice, Exclaim! and Chart Attack.

The energized, spastic album is a clever collision of synthy beats and melodies that explode in danceable tracks and punk rock anthems. Reminiscent of the vocal stylings of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, YSP! built upon textured melodic ideas that compliment their richly diverse rock riffs.

YSP!’s perpetually dance-inducing tracks have gained them opening spots for Pretty Girls Make Graves, SNFU and DOA.

With one succesful cross-Canada tour under their belt, including a showcase at Pop Montreal '05, YSP! are planning months of touring and showcases for this spring.
