History

Cox and Davis formed the Yelling because they wanted to pursue a new musical direction than they had with Revis, [3] and Davis has said that they went "back to their roots" with the Yelling's establishment. [4] Their musical style has been described as "a polyembryonal gametophyte mutation of Jack White, David Bowie, Angus Young, Cedric Bixler and Ozzy." [5] Many other sources have also stated that their music sounds much like that of the '70s, [6] with one reviewer comparing their sound to "Led Zeppelin crash[ing] a Who recording session being produced by Iron Butterfly." [7] They released an EP entitled EP on October 7, 2008, [8] which contained five songs. The last song on the EP, "Blood on the Steps", was featured on Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack, [9] and on a compilation album issued by Tankfarm Records entitled "Future Sounds 32", released a day after their EP. [10] Billboard wrote that with regard to this song, its "...the thick, fuzzy chords; warbly bass slides; and get-this-party-started intent" "put the bombastic stoner jam in White Stripes territory." [11] Muzikreviews wrote that on their EP, the Yelling "...take their messy, machine-gun sound and blow it up inside listeners’ ears, content to mash an old-school rockabilly format with a fresher razoresque distortion," and compared the EP's sound to that of the early Smashing Pumpkins. The reviewer, Kevin Leidel, awarded the EP a rating of four and a half (out of five) stars. [12] It was widely reported that they were planning on releasing a full length album, entitled "Long Time My Love" (also the second track on their EP), in the fall of 2009, but while a single, "21st Century Freak," was released, the album never was as the band broke up shortly before its scheduled release date.
