VIMTV Episode #282: Yuck – Yuck

Jake: Recommended, 80/100

Tom: Recommended, 79/100

Overview: Yuck’s debut album is absolutely full of catchy, quirky, indie-rock tunes. The songwriting is terrific and consistent, which is a combination you can’t go wrong with. It isn’t the most original thing in the world, as it hearkens back to a sound that was very popular in the 90s and has been copied several times since. Still, these tracks are generally too good to deny, with their weaknesses coming mainly from an overall lack of ambition. Regardless, this is a good listen from a band that you’ll want to keep an eye on.
