Songs For Children are proud to present coolest breakthrough UK band of 2011 … slacker pop scuzz sensations YUCK !!!!!!!!
oh yes!!! :)


‘... one of the year’s most brilliant debuts’ NME

‘Yuck are worth hearing not so much because of who they sound like, but what they've done with those sounds: in this case, make a deeply melodic, casually thrilling coming-of-age album for a generation that never saw Nirvana’ Pitchfork 8.1/10

‘Grunge revivalists? It’s hard to dispute that – but 2011’s sweetest and slackerest have created a debut that triumphs purely through its heartbreaking pop songs.’ NME 8/10


Yuck, a band of no fixed hairstyle from London (Daniel - early MBV mop, Max - beardy/grunge, Mariko - heavy hipster fringe, and Jonny - afro) undoubtedly pulled off the best debut album of 2011. Yes, the band wear their hearts on their sleeve, Dinosaur Jr, Teenage Fanclub (Yuck have supported both) and Sonic Youth are all there, but what makes Yuck stand out is their ability to wrap up all these influences into the freshest sounding pop/grunge/scuzz that is the sound for 2012.

In true DIY style they self-produced and recorded their debut album at home, it was released to massive critical acclaim (Pitchfork 8.1, NME 8). Yuck have spent 2011 on tour; with sold out headline shows at New York's Music Hall and London's Electric Ballroom.They stormed the festival circuit playing Glastonbury, Reading Leeds, Bestival and Primavera Sound.

Supporting Yuck will be SFC faves, Hong Kong’s cult lo-fi noiseketeers - The Yours!

Lead singer Daniel’s Amazing Illustrations adorn the covers of all YUCK releases; and were reacently released as a limited edition art book: http://fatpossum.com/news/231

He’s agreed to draw Songs For Children an exclusive Year-of-the dragon Poster especially for the Hong Kong show!
