CITY YELPS, THE - The City Yelps Half Hour (CD)

THE CITY YELPS are three piece from Leeds that play bruising melodic post punk, resonant and raw, distilling the essence of TELEVISION PERSONALITIES and SWELL MAPS, with a nod to the pop sensibilities of Flying Nun greats THE CLEAN. The vinyl version was released by Odd Box in April this year, to an avalanche of enthusiasm and acclaim. Emotional Response is proud to announce the arrival of the CD version. The City Yelps Half Hour is essentially a punk record - it's not easy listening, and your mum would probably hate it, but there's enough of a pop sensibility present not to alienate fans of the more indie pop persuasion. This is music that's unashamedly imperfect and blemished, and you can't help but love them for it.
