Yuck- Get Away


Ah the 90's...how I have missed you. Yuck is a 4 piece band out of London that distills the sound of the American indie scene from the early 1990's. "Get Away" is a love-lorn song centering around the line "I can't get away" which repeats about a million times. This is far from annoying, however, as it is sung with such conviction that it sounds more like a insistant cry for help than mere whining. The main draw of the song though is a huge, melodic Dinosaur Jr. -esque guitar riff which has been stuck in my head for a week. Seriously, beware of how catchy it is. While this band may get put down for lack of originality, the songs are good enough to rise above their 1990's trappings to live comfortably in 2010.
