Atmosphere: The sort of riled up, ready-to-rock vibe you always wish for on Saturday nights at festivals. Yuck are young, fun and far from dumb.
High: They may only have one album, but this London foursome sound as practiced as a band who've been together for a decade. Ok, maybe that's got something to do with the fact that their sound is hugely derivative of bands like Pixies and Sonic Youth – but boy, we defy you to resist the squealing riff of Get Away or the jangly yelp of The Wall. It's been pinging 'round our heads ever since.
Low: Drummer Jonny Rogoff's gigantic afro, which verges on a health hazard – we wouldn't like to be stuck behind that crazy mane at a gig.
Quote: They're not the most verbose of bands, but that's Ok.
Verdict: Loud, grungey squalls of sound that got us fired up for a raucous night of rock 'n' roll. Yum.
Star rating: 3.5
