Yucky Duster doesn't have a strong narrative. The Brooklyn band doesn't have a management team sculpting their brand, or a consistent message, or even an easy genre tag—they've been called "twee" and "surf" and "riot grrrl," but those labels don't quite fit, since the musical style varies wildly depending on which of the band's four songwriters penned the track.
Yucky Duster are just four friends who like to write songs together. Those songs happen to be some of the best coming out of Brooklyn right now, but the band probably wouldn't care much either way.
They may not make punk music, but Yucky Duster is a more punk band than the majority of the mediocre groups trying to fly that genre flag right now. They're not focused on marketing themselves or trying to reinvent pop music or whatever—they just dick around and make things they like. Read more on Last.fm.
