YUCK (Self-Titled)
Yuck is the worst way to describe a band this tasty–think 90s guitar outfits like Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill, with a little Buffalo Tom thrown in as well. Hailing from New York, Hiroshima and London (rehearsals must be a bitch), the bands’ self-titled debut is an immersive treat. Daniel Blumberg and Max Bloom, both previously of the band Cajun Dance Party, both contribute stellar vocals and guitar work; Mariko Doi keeps channels the Pumpkins’ D’arcy on bass and Jonny Rogoff anchors the drums. “Get Away” kicks the record off with a nice bass groove and a wall of sweet sonic guitars.
