   About The Yolks
"The Yolks, put forth a stammering version of a maladroit 60s romp that falls between the Mummies and a slightly fuzzed up Ray Davies. With fetching hooks laid out on a veneer of mid-tempo convivial tunes, their energy will certainly rouse the crowd." - Brett Cross, Victim of Time
