This is the Ofiicial page of the NY Hardcore Punk band YUPPICIDE.
Born in Brooklyn in 88, died in Brooklyn '99. Yes DIED, as in done. But keep requesting that we do (another) reunion, because it strokes our fragile egos and makes us feel really important.
Joe, Steve, and Jesse met while attending art school in Brooklyn, NY. John Lynch was recruited on drums and in 1988 Yuppicide was formed.
Yuppicide's songs have consistently dealt with issues of: questioning authority, censorship, and problematic relationships. With lyrics that encompasses various characters (assassins to anorexic teenage girls) Yuppicide has rarely walked the common hardcore path.
Their first full length: "Fear Love" (Wreck-Age) was released in 1990,after which they toured through Europe for 7 weeks building a strong fan base that has stayed with them ever since.
Their second full length: "Shinebox" was released in 1993 (Wreck-Age), and marked a stylistic progression, aided by the addition of a new drummer: Pete Guinan.
By their third full length release: "Dead man walking" (Wreck-Age), Yuppicide had carved out a niche all their own, with songs that had elements of punk, and the power of hardcore, but a style that was solely Yuppicide!
