You always need a little ruffage in your diet
These hard rockin' Brits were too early to benefit from the garage rock hype of 2002, but even if their timing had been better I'm not sure the forecast for their destiny would have improved. They aim for a sound that is halfway between the Ramones and Creedence Clearwater Revival - and they...

This band gives me hope for the future of Rock-n-Roll!
This CD is SO Rock-n-Roll it hurts! I have been listening to it for the past 6 months straight. An absolute must-have desert island disc. The Yo Yo's are relentless hookmeisters who will have you singing along with them just seconds into the chorus. This release is a timeless classic; it...

At Last
I saw the Yo-yos first about 18 months ago and have seen them once more since. I went on the basis of the Wildhearts link and was well impressed by what I saw. This album has been long awaited by many rock, punk and pop fans and doesn't disapoint. Simpler than the wildhearts but just as catchy...

Punk + Rock + PowerPop = Yo-Yo's
I bought this CD because I thought it was supposed to be punk. It's punk and then some. There's definitely a heavy rock flavor and some great "poppy" elements. I was listening to the disc and my wife asked if it was Cheap Trick. I took this as a compliment. I can also hear some echos of...

Bloody Amazing!
This album is utterly amazing! Danny has done well for himself since the Wildhearts break-up. The first track is reminisant (sp?) of "Endless Nameless" by the Wildhearts, but without all the feedback and distortion. Very punk, very rock n' roll, very very good! The rest of the album is more...
