KUTX Our Favorite Songs of 2022 Living Pins – “Oh Yeah“
December 5, 2022
“Last year, this duo, featuring veterans from Austin 90’s outfits Sixteen Deluxe and Ursa Major, scored with their Freaky Little Monster Children EP. This year it’s a double A-side single (which received international airplay). With fun, smart lyrics set to psychedelic garage rock dabbed with a touch of T. Rex, “Oh Yeah” jumped out of the radio with authority and a wink.”
