1New Yesterday is a musical group which specialises in Dance music, primarily featuring Electronica and Alt-Rock with some Latin influences.
2
3They have three officially released singles, but only one has been broadcast worldwide - in the form of a video on Website/YouTube, ''Shift''. This single is the first to not include any Latin-inspired segments but, rather, repetition of a dance break from their first single, which [[WordOfGod claim to make it "a good mix track for DJs"]]. Also, the single has added water-drips, moving ladders, and a toy robot in the background to add to the Alt-Rock effect.

5On a later Website/YouTube upload, they revealed that they had gained a singer, who is British.

10!!Tropes that apply to this musical group:
11
12* AllInTheEyes: Artwork for ''Shift'' is a concept eye.
13* AnonymousBand: Simply all we know is they're American, with [[WordOfGod (apparently)]] some Latino heritage and a British singer. That's it.
14* ButNotTooForeign: Central-North American with a bit of Latin Spice and a Brit thrown in for good measure.
15* CoverVersion: One, sung ''a cappella'' by friends of their singer. It was ''"I Write Sins Not Tragedies"'', and is on Website/YouTube somewhere.
16* EverythingIsAnInstrument: A toy robot and a step ladder were used for ''Shift'', along with a computer.
17%%* FakeOutFadeOut
18* FullNameBasis: [[NoNameGiven No individuals' names are known,]] [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname they all go by 'New Yesterday'.]]
19* GenreShift: Ditching the Latin with the main single didn't suit them. Not even a bit.
20* IncrediblyLamePun:
21** When asked about the change to Alt-Rock for ''Shift'' the response was "No, it's ''Shift-Rock''! [[DontExplainTheJoke Like on a keyboard.]] And we used a computer, too."
22** Just ''[[PunBasedTitle titling]]'' the song 'Shift' could denote the ''[[GenreShift shift]]''. No WordOfGod on that, though.
23* {{Industrial}}: Most likely of the danceable kind, but there's a fair amount of synthesising, too.
24* {{Instrumentals}}: Well, there aren't any words.
25* LoopedLyrics: Technically looped ''music'', in the case of ''Shift'' most notably - and this itself comes from [[{{Title 1}} Song No. 1]].
26* LukeNounverber: Not AdjectiveNounFred, because they ''are'' Adjective Noun... [[StageName New Yesterday]].
27%%* MinimalisticCoverArt
28* [[NewSoundAlbum New Sound Single]]: They ''Shift''ed.
29%%* NoisyRobots
30* NonAppearingTitle: They're a big fan. None of their songs have any lyrics at all, though (unless you count that one time they recorded a cover JustForFun).
31* OopNorth: Where their singer is from, and you can tell from the way syllables are shortened. As such, the group's name isn't [[OverlyLongName all that long for her at all]].
32* PropheticName: Even with TimeTravel, [[RealityBreakingParadox hopefully not]] as that could cause a TemporalParadox.
33%%* {{Sampling}}
34* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: {{Averted}}, there's [[AlternativeRock rock and roll]] but the group are [[WordOfGod perfectly clean]].
35%%* SongStyleShift
36* SquatsInAName: Although Song No. 1 was the first song, the group's name was just [[AGoodNameForARockBand made up and sounded catchy]].
37%%* StopAndGo
38* TextlessAlbumCover: {{Averted}}. To say the songs are ''wordless'', this could well have been expected. [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle Not so fast]], because the cover art for their singles features [[{{Minimalism}} one lovely abstract image]] with the song's title and 'New Yesterday' emblazoned on top.
39* TickTockTune: ''Shift''.
40* TrashCanBand: What sounds like it was pulled from a kitchen used in all songs.
