"YUCA is one of those bands that only come around every so often. They are the next big band to come out of Canada made for arenas, see them now in a club because one day soon they'll be playing in front of 60,000 people!" Comments of various radio and music industry reps exposed to YUCA at Canadian Music Week and Virgin Fest 2007 Vancouver.
Emerging from their rehearsal space and idea factory located in a barn on the outskirts of Vancouver, YUCA was chosen by an esteemed industry panel to be crowned the 2006 99.3FM The Fox SEEDS Platinum Award Winners beating out over 700 bands for the title. (Previous Winners include Nickelback and Default)
In April of 2008 - YUCA was again crowned the Best Band in Western Canada winning the coveted title from the Pontiac “Battle of the Bands” at this year’s TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC Canada (Home of the 2010 Olympics) competing against the handpicked “10 Top bands” around including some from major labels.
With a full album of intense, infectious and brilliantly recorded tracks in the can (produced by John MacLean with the band and mastered by George Marino) YUCA's a band on a mission. YUCA released the Single “It’s about something” through national radio promotion in Canada and saw the song shoot to Number 1 on Galaxie Rock Radio and beyond. The single was added and featured on many other radio stations. Through radio promotion in the UK, YUCA saw their single hit number 6 on University radio – while growing their fan base throughout Europe and Asia.
YUCA is the real deal and the bands powerful live performances, brilliant songs and authenticity has been attracting fans with every show they play.
“We don’t do this because it’ the cool thing to do, we do this because rock and roll is in our blood” stated Matt Borck, “We don't fake a single note we play!”
Sincerity is a word that consistently comes up when people talk about YUCA. Seeing the band on stage and the passion that flows from the members, you know the band means every word they sing!
We hope you'll give the music a chance, become a YUCA convert in the process and help us out by sharing YUCA with the world!
