If you grew up in the '90s with a steady diet of "Alternative Nation" and "120 Minutes," a certain sound will always be close to your heart. The distorted guitars and slightly disheveled melodies, the slacker attitude hiding the broken hearts and post-teenage angst underneath. It's a sound that is being resurrected by the newish band Yuck.
Formed in 2009 and made up of members from London, Hiroshima, Japan, and New Jersey, Yuck somehow capture and update that fuzzed out '90s sound. On their self-titled debut album, due out Feb. 15, the quartet make guitar rock as insanely catchy as it is seemingly off the cuff. If you're a fan of Dinosaur Jr. or The Breeders, or more current bands like The Drums or Surfer Blood, you'll definitely want to check out Yuck.
To hear songs from Yuck's self-titled debut album, head over to their MySpace page. One that album's best tracks, "Georgia," has a cool, retro-race-car-themed video, which you can watch below. Yuck is due out Feb. 15.
