I had to check the calendar just to make sure what year it was as soon as I heard this - it sounds like it's from a totally different era. This harks back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the rock world and were just about to be put out of their misery by a bunch of exciting young punks.
In the case of Stalkers, this is a band that is totally in thrall to New York Dolls. Ignoring for just a second that at times it sounds like it might turn into a spiky version of the Timewarp, Yesterday Is No Tomorrow is one hell of a tune. The other band that instantly springs to mind when you hear this for the first time is The Strokes. It's like the first time you heard New York City Cops, it definitely sound retro, but the energy of the song make it sound fresh and exciting.
Yesterday Is No Tomorrow is full of energy and swagger, and you get the impression that this is a band that is not only knows it is infinitely cooler than any other band but that they party harder than any band too. This is most definitely a party record, two and a half minutes of cans in the air, letting everything go and forgetting that there even is a tomorrow.
