Yokel Ono - So Many Enemies - Album Review

So Many Enemies

yokel ono

By Undertheradar

Yokel Ono are somewhat of an enigma in Auckland. The duo (once trio) from Hamiltron has been playing every nook and cranny in NZ and Aussie for over 6 years.

This is their long promised EP and true to their dedication and take no prisoners attitude this recording is the holy trinity of Auckland indie rock.

True it might be that this gets over looked for many years to come, but inevitably it will be revered.

4 songs all named after Harry Potter, and with a fury that an army couldn’t produce they hammer their outlook out on tape, glorious tape as a simple 2 piece.

Now don’t draw comparisons to *yawn* the White Stripes, their sound is OWNED.

I don't know, they're pretty good. I've only ever seen them once but I thought they were brilliant. I really should buy some of their music.

Thats a bit overated isn't it? I saw these guys in Auckland once opening for HDU & they bored me shitless. Its also doesn't make much sense to say that they own their sound when anyone who has listened to Shellac, HDU or even bands as recent as Die Die Die would realise thats simply not true.
