Yeah No Black Vinyl 12″
Wow, for some reason, this is nothing like what I was expected. I was totally thinking that Used Kids were geeky power pop. But, actually, Yeah No is some straight up rock n’ roll with punk and Americana influences thrown in. It’s not a bad listen but honestly a lot of it comes off as super cheesy to me. I mean the three bands bantered about in regards to Used Kids are Husker Du, The Jam and Exploding Hearts and quite frankly I don’t hear any of those bands here. If I did I would be singing a different tune most likely. Hell, there’s a few songs here that remind me of John Mellencamp for god sakes. I mean, this ain’t terrible and I bet the band is fun live but I can’t imagine I’ll be listening to Yeah No ever again. Sorry.

I gotta disagree with you on this one, Will. I thoroughly enjoy this record and was glad to see their last show at Fest.
Yeah, Jeff, I remember you saying you liked these guys. I just don’t…ha.
