We like our bands reasonably embryonic here at We Heart… after all, everyone’s heard them by the time they release an album – or sometimes even a single – and that’s just no fun at all is it. Four London-based 20 year olds who know a thing or two about embryonic status – half the band were in underage popsters Cajun Dance Party – are early 90s alt-rock admirers, Yuck. With no more than two recorded tracks to their name, Yuck are certainly at the fledgling stage of their new band, the style they ply however is not so youthful… with their single ‘Georgia’ coming over all chugging and poptastic, like Lemonheads at their best, a self confessed adoration of Dinosaur Jr and Silver Jews and the beautifully sparse, boy/girl tenderness of ‘Automatic’ having shivering echoes of Pixies or Sonic Youth. You can stick your ‘grunge revival’, this early 90s homage is much more our cup of tea….
