"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 CMW and VirginFest 2007 Vancouver.

Emerging from their rehearsal space and idea factory located in a barn on the outskirts of Vancouver, YUCA won the 2006 Fox Seeds competition, beating out 500 other bands from all over B.C. (and blowing the roof off a sold-out Commodore Ballroom in the process).

Singer Matt Borck made the commitment to music after declining to pursue a pro soccer career, while also flirting with the big-time skateboarding scene. Along with his equally talented band mates, Matt has created nothing less than a total YUCA aesthetic, which encompasses music, design and an enthusiastic approach to the challenges of the current music business that focuses on independence, innovation and a "why not?" attitude.

Now, 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.

They are after nothing less than international recognition (world domination sounded a little too Austin Powers, so we dialed it back a bit), and it starts here, now, in Canada with the first single "It’s About Something" and a dynamic live show packed with songs destined to be arena anthems.

We hope you’ll give the music a chance and become a YUCA convert in the process.

Thanks for the add guys and welcome to The Entertainment Site. Saw you on Global yesterday (Whistler) and immediatley recognized your huge talents. Obviously some U2 influences, but with a large dash of creative individuality. I'm just glad that I've jumped on the band wagon early enough and can watch it all happen. Thanks! Have a great week.
