I’ll be honest, it was the simple and cute album art for this Yuppies track that drew me in, and while it took a moment to grow on me, I now appreciate the punky raw goodness that this Nebraska band embodies. Formed out of teenage angst and boredom, like any good garage band, Yuppies are composed of Jack Begley, Kevin Donahue, and Jeff Sedrel.
Together the trio will release their first self-titled LP on Dull Tools come September 15th and will embark on a number of tour dates in October with a few joint dates with Parquet Courts.
Take a listen to the track below.
