Matt Borck of YUCA talks about “Limitless” to Patrick O’Heffernan

May 30, 2015

Matt Borck of YUCA talks about “Limitless”,  a hypodermic full of rock injected directly into your pleasure centers…for free. By Patrick O’Heffernan   Listening to the music  of YUCA is a transformative experience, which is why they fill so many stadium seats around the world.  It is not just the question how only three guys can make so much ear-grabbing sound, but the positive images and messages they put into those sounds.  Always thinking, always pushing the envelope, always experimenting, these three artists have built a well-deserved reputation as one of the best alt. rock groups in Canada and a major draw in Asia, the USA and Europe. True to form, they are out with a new album and a new idea for distributing music in this crazy world of downloads, streams, CD’s and purist vinyl. All their music will be free with songs from new albums being released one at a time. The first song now available for free download is “Limitless” and it  soars. It is everything its name implies – music without limit. [Read More]
