Yuppie Pricks:: Balls

If nothing else, Yuppie Pricks new album Balls, merits some attention for having such an odd approach of embracing decadence, selling out, and whatever else is supposedly banned by the consciousness police. The band was formed by “pharmaceutical business magnate” Trevor Middleton, “third generation divorce lawyer” Deuce Hollingsworth, and soon after added British expatriate Nigel Smythen-Wesson. The music blasts out like some forgotten eighties west coast punk, capped off by a nasally snarl somewhere in line with Jello Biafra, who once courted the band. No doubt, one should also expect a little laughter while listening to talk of frat boys doing their brothers over the fence, Al Gore inventing the internet before he became a climatologist, portfolio scores, and the GOP. Fun times to enjoy and call home, while pondering how full of shit most of us are anyway with our highfalutin ideas. Oh yeah, and secretly, I think we all like kinky weird sex.
