John Peel kicked off his BBC broadcast during SXSW 2005 with the Yuppie Pricks song, "Cherry Red." Following an extended hiatus, the Yuppie Pricks released their third full-length disc in 2008, Balls, on Chicken Ranch Records, an album where "the irony drips like bacon fat," "to negate everything you ever thought about punk," and which "recontextualizes classics from punk’s ever-growing classic history (Buzzcocks, Big Boys! etc.) and creates new oil guzzling and FOX news approved republican punk anthems." Once again, the Yuppie Pricks dipped into their decidedly un-punk past to parody the Black Crowes' infamous Amorica album, featuring their own male-enhanced take on the 1970s-era Hustler-inspired cover art, and landing them in the October 2008 issue of Blender magazine. Additionally, selected tracks from Balls, including "Donkey Show" and "Fuck You, I'm Rich," were put in heavy rotation on XM Satellite Radio's Fungus 53 punk channel. Yuppie Pricks returned in 2014 with Appetite For Consumption, a more hard rock flavored album with covers of songs from the Sex Pistols and Sir Mix-A-Lot.
