Biography
YES WE ARE is a genre-blending band creating songs that embrace the full spectrum of the human experience. The band is fronted by vocalist Dylan Bode and multi-instrumentalist Reed Knutsen, who work hand in hand to write and compose the music and lyrics.
The music they create channels different perspectives and emotions, acknowledging all that we are as individuals – yes we are kind, yes we are mean, yes we are happy, yes we are sad, we can be helpful, and we can also hurt each other.
Their debut EP, Into This Garden, released on November 14, 2025. It’s an initial statement from the band that their music creates a place where everybody is welcome. The album uses the metaphors of garden themes to take the listener along a path of important personal moments to reach a place of belonging.

Into This Garden EP
Released on November 14, 2025
🪴 Our debut EP, Into This Garden, is a deeply personal project that explores the journey from loneliness to belonging.
We would like this project to take the listener along a quick walk with us through a garden of our initial offering of original music.
Each track offers something unique, yet together they create something whole: a garden where everyone is welcome.
Lyrics: Daisy, Ladybug, Arrow, Into This Garden
