UUVVWWZ (read double U double V double W Z) is an indie rock quartet from Lincoln, Nebraska and they have just released their self-titled debut album on Saddle Creek. UUVVWWZ somehow got a hold of the ambitious, raw energy that seemed to be lacking in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ It’s Blitz.
“Castle” is a wonderful, multifaceted track; one that ties UUVVWWZ together and one that will certainly stick in peoples’ minds. “Shark Suit” dissects and transforms noise into palatable fuzzy-punk sounds, reminiscent of tricks worn brightly by Karen O and the gang.

I love this band name. There music is okay, but the name is so fun to say.
That has to be one of the most annoying band names ever. But kinda catchy songs.
