The Profile

Yuppie Flu are an Italian indie rock band from Ancona known for melodic indie-pop shaded by psychedelia and electronics. Releases include The Boat EP (2000), Days Before the Day (2003), Toast Masters (2005), and Fragile Forest (2008), with several records issued via Homesleep. Early critiques compared them to Pavement and Mercury Rev, while later work leaned more guitar-forward.

From the reviews: the band is from Ancona and released records on Homesleep; The Boat EP (2000) is singled out as a gem; Days Before the Day blends light piano, acoustic guitars, strings and electronic drums; Toast Masters features a more guitar-centric approach and followed a lineup change (one fewer keyboardist and a new drummer); Fragile Forest was circulated via free-will download before CD release; live shows can ignite mid-set, culminating in extended encores.

Italian indie band from Ancona with a melodic indie-pop/rock core, shaded by psychedelia and electronics. Praised for Days Before the Day and the guitar-forward Toast Masters, with The Boat EP often cited as a gem. Fragile Forest surfaced with a forward-looking free-download strategy. Live, they build slow-burn sets that end up catching fire.
