Shit-pop from the land of the mighty Brimstone Howl, which shows that even the corn belt isn't immune to the influence of the mighty Shitgaze. Firstly, this tape was dubbed really shittily, so I hate to give a review based on what may be an inferior representation of what a band is capable of. I went to their Myspace page (gag) and checked the same songs out there and they sounded a million times better. As I've said elsewhere on this page, even tapes require some care...take some time to make them sound good kids. So uh, even though I said the songs sound a million times better, that still don't mean I like it all. At their best, Yuppies sound like a bunch of kids who don't give a fuck ramming out some slices of noisy shit-fi-pop accentuated with dippy keyboard sounds and blabbermouth vocals. Psychedelic Horseshit fucking Thomas Function while Times New Viking plays on the stereo and TV Ghost hide in the closet and watch (yes, that is the worst piece-of-shit review comparison you ever read). At their worst they just sound really annoying. It's one thing to sound out of tune and sloppy as if you don't give a fuck within some aesthetic boundaries you've defined for yourself as a band. But sometimes it just comes off as sounding sort of lazy and bored, which is in turn boring for anyone listening/watching. People have said some good things about this band, but I only see the briefest glimpses of it here, and not enough to make me interested in an actual record. I hope I'm wrong, and I hope they're great live, which is where I imagine these songs might get their best shot. -Terminal Boredom
