Yuck - "Chew"

Yuck never get mentioned without the phrase "'90s guitar driven rock" getting attached to them. See: just like that! It's because their music borrows from '90s guitar driven rock bands in the same way that Kristian Matsoon channels early Bob Dylan or a "Horse With No Name" impersonates Neil Young. Okay, well the latter is maybe not the best example: an America comparison is not exactly going to get you excited about a band. But don't forget people, America's records throughout the '70s were produced by George Martin. That's right, George "F-ing" Martin. Therefore, America = The Beatles of the 70s. Anyway, Yuck are better than America. The British band's self-titled 2011 debut was a veritable Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, Pavement mash-up, and today we have our first taste of new Yuck music since those eleven tracks: "Chew", a four minute rock nugget that again draws from every favorite band you had in the '90s, though this time goes quite heavy on Gish/Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins (yes, the good-era Smashing Pumpkins). It sounds great! Give it a listen below. Yuck are at Coachella for the next couple of weekends, with a few other dates scheduled in the state around those festival appearances. Check those out here.
