 Splendid Magazine reviews YOB: Catharsis
YOB's Mike Sheidt is one of these squealers, and Catharsis does indeed marry sludgy stoner metal with proggy song-lengths and celestial "concepts".
Following in the footsteps of bands like Sleep, Kyuss and Electric Wizard (not to mention Sabbath), YOB infuse their slow-oozing soundpits with a brooding sense of doom-and-gloom import.
The relatively brief "Ether" is the album's sprightliest track, a fleeting gasp of air before sinking beneath the swamp.

 BBC News | UK | Life of Crime | Yob culture: Calling time on the lads?
In fact any young person who displays a disregard for orderly behaviour, and a disrespect for their elders, is likely to be labelled a yob.
While it may be identified with the young, yob culture is not confined to one age group, or indeed one class.
This could be enforced in areas with a reputation for juvenile crime and disorder, and would mean a ban on children being out on certain streets after 9pm, unless they have adult supervision.

 Human Events: Yob yak
Even some of Michigan's most ardent backers of the 2nd Amendment often wonder if the mouth of their state's Republican National Committeeman, Chuck Yob, shouldn't be registered as a lethal weapon.
While campaigning for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee (RNC) in 1997, Yob was asked if he was concerned about the role of the Christian Coalition in the party.
First out of the box to cry, "Yob Must Go!" was outgoing Gov. John Engler, who also warned that Yob would be committeeman "in name only" if he did not resign his party post.

 YOB: The Unreal Never Lived: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
But YOB's The Unreal Never Lived-- four songs-in-50 minutes-- still stands out on its own as epic downtrodden metal with what sounds like seasoned potsmokers throwing in their High Times for some new age religious tracts.
Even with some goofy lyrics, YOB sound like doom, the kind that has you up at night wondering why we even bother holding jobs when we barely get paid enough to pay for our housing and vehicles or why we bother befriending people if they are just gonna turn on us.
And those methodical bastards in YOB probably enjoy causing that pain.

 VH1.com : YOB : Biography
With songs regularly averaging upward of ten minutes (and sometimes as much as 20 and beyond), Portland, OR's YOB are clearly not a commercial heavy metal band, but rather fuse elements
Founded in 2000 by vocalist/guitarist Mike Scheidt, with bassist Lowell Iles and drummer Gabe Morley, YOB issued 2002's Elaborations of Carbon before admitting a new rhythm section of Isamu Sato (bass) and Travis Foster (drums), and fast-delivering ensuing efforts Catharsis (2003), The Illusion of Motion (2004), and The Unreal Never Lived (2005).
Each garnered more acclaim than the last, and the final pair reflected that growth by finding the band plucked from tiny local label exile by the historic Metal Blade Records.
