The Yuppie Pricks, Stock Market EP
The Yuppie Pricks were briefly featured in some anti-Bush documentary made a few years ago and at the time I thought the band's concept was cool. I believe they are a bunch of lawyers and accountants who like to play punk rock on the weekends. They wear these nifty eighties tennis clothes - the short shorts, sweat bands, and polo shirts when they perform.
A cool concept doesn't mean anything if the music sucks. I heard them play on XM recently and it was solid so I purchased their Stock Market EP on iTunes. While it was a little short (just under nine minutes) it is really good straight forward punk rock. "Donkey Show" and "Paycheck" are pretty standard cuts, but "Stock Market" and "F**k You, I'm Rich" are as good as anything The Dead Kennedy's have ever done.
Update: It looks like The Yuppie Pricks have their own website and a Wikipedia article.
