GrandDesigner Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Just discovered this band. They have a great sound, highly reminiscent of early 90's alternative/shoegazy type stuff. I can't overlook their tendency to "borrow" a lot of motifs from The Smashing Pumpkins, but since TSP are probably my favorite band, I can't get too upset.

Poiyple Platypus Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 What a coincidence! I've been following Yuck for a few weeks now. Have you heard of The Wildlife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they're no Slowdive or anything, but very nice! I love the guitars more than anything. GREAT guitars. Other than that, they managed to actually come up with a worse band name than Garbage, and that takes some doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Saw them at Coachella last month and liked what I had heard. Didn't get the best impression because of the wind, but they sounded pretty tight. Thanks for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hey! Had no idea there was a Yuck thread here. I've been following them for a couple months now. I enjoy their sound! As aforementioned, they are no Slowdive, but then again, who is, 'cept for Slowie themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
