They have toured with the likes of Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Black Veil Brides & Madina Lake and have also played at Download Festival, T in the Park and Sonisphere.

The band was founded by school friends: Rick Shiels (bassist) and Paul Charles Travers (guitarist) in Greenock.

Original vocalist, Michael Rice joined the band as he had similar tastes in music to Andrew and they met whilst studying at University.

The new line up embarked on a nine date UK tour in April 2009 supporting Madina Lake, The Audition and fellow friends Flood of Red.

Yashin then continued to tour for most of the year in the UK and Europe before commencing recording their debut album Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them, with Romesh Dodangoda at Long Wave Studios in November 2009.

Yashin released their debut album, Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them, on 1 February 2010, which included a fan-favourite cover of "Everytime" by Britney Spears.

In March 2010, the band headed out on a gruelling 38 date tour supporting Glamour of the Kill, where the sextet made new friends in the Yorkshire metallers.

Amongst the winter dates with Black Veil Brides and The Blackout, the band had been writing for their second studio album and demoing tracks with Tantrum To Blind guitarist and producer Simon Janlov.

2012 also saw Yashin headline the Jägermeister stage at Download Festival, as well as supporting Limp Bizkit in London, Germany, The Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
