Check out the band Yuck, composed of five Londoners, with two of them (Max Bloom and Daniel Blumburg) from the short-lived band Cajun Dance Party. The sound is highly reminiscent of 90s underground with a great flair for the tasty Brit pop of the late 1960s. Without a doubt, this band is refreshing. Not the robotic sound of techno beats (nothing wrong there) blaring into your headphones that ultimately leave you wanting to roam through your vinyl collections. Here, this is a band that is well on their way to become masters of their own craft, infectious riffs, and catchy melodies. Yuck's music is far from it's name, it's like one drawn-out daydream. For once, the band with a retrospective sound that isn't from yesteryear has landed. The sound is very modern, and proves the point that modern doesn't have to equal a Korg drum and bass machine.
A few EPs and 7"s later, this band is finally getting some well-deserved buzz in the US. Check out the song "Georgia," which has been making the rounds for sometime, however, their self-titled album is due to hit February 2011.
