Brooklyn’s legendary hardcore punk outfit, Yuppicide, is
proud to announce the release of its first studio album in 14 years, ‘American
Oblivion’ EP, out today via Dead City Records. ‘American Oblivion’ can be
purchased as a limited-edition
CD or 12” vinyl with color booklet including lyrics, rare photos, art and more
via the Dead City webstore at: http://www.deadcityny.com/DCSpecialOffersPageYuppicideAmericanOblivion.htm,
and digitally through iTunes at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/american-oblivion-ep/id559897765.
“Even when the band was apart, I wrote songs for Yuppicide:
I'd hear Jesse's voice or Joe's bass,” said Yuppicide guitarist and founding
member, Steve Karp. “Once we started working with new drummer Jay, the reunited
band got back into songwriting mode quickly and almost too easily - like we
never stopped. ‘American Oblivion’ is our very best effort yet, and
sums up all our hard work since forming way back in 1988.”

Yuppicide will play a CD release show on Sunday, September
30th at St. Vitus in Brooklyn, N.Y. to commemorate the release.
Energized both by the warm reception of the band’s
commemorative 2010 double CD, '88-'98 Anthology, and the permanent
addition of Jay “Gringo Starr” Rogan on drums, ‘American Oblivion’ was recorded
by NYHC fixture, Glen Lorieo, at Manhattan's, Night Owl Studios. The result is
a raw blast of everything Yuppicide is best known for: speed, intensity, drive,
sincerity and a dogged determination to carving its own path through the
punk/hardcore world.
The record’s title track is currently streaming on Bandcamp: http://yuppicide.bandcamp.com/ for
a small taste of the new effort.
Yuppicide, a mainstay in New York’s revitalized hardcore
scene during the 1990’s, is one of the preeminent bands to rise from the era.
The band went on to unleash three full-length studio records, with the last, Dead
Man Walking, releasing in 1995. Once a staple of the New York hardcore scene, Yuppicide is now considered a
legend and an influence to countless bands worldwide.
Stay tuned for more information on Yuppicide
and ‘American Oblivion’ EP.
