Yuck is a band of English youngsters that sound like a fuzzier and more grown-up version of the Midwest emo I grew up listening to. Despite this being a fairly new album, it evokes sense memory of driving around the suburbs, drinking a limited-edition orange Mountain Dew. It’s perfect music for an unseasonably warm day like today.
Get Yuck’s self-titled album here.
According to Lifter Puller‘s singer Craig Finn, “In 1991, I went to a Grateful Dead show at Nassau Coliseum. Supposedly, it was the biggest drug bust in Grateful Dead history. The kid I was with threw up on me and started freaking out, so we had to cruise during the second set. I took him to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II so he could calm down. It finally worked, after a lot of heavy breathing and concern for Donotello’s welfare.”
For this song, he fudged the story a little bit to make it about a young lady with whom he would like to bone. Regardless of narrative veracity, this is an emotionally gripping 6 minutes that will make you feel feelings big time.
“Nassau Coliseum” is from Lifter Puller’s 1997 album “Half Dead and Dynamite” which you can get on your local iTunes music store.
From their upcoming album “The Brutalist Bricks”, out March 9th, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists made one heck of a fist-pumper. Also, tight use of a flange pedal.
