Band: UPCHUCK
Who: High-voltage punks
from Atlanta, Georgia.
Album: I’m Nice Now
Produced by TY Segall.
Press info: Upchuck channels their feverishness into an album that,
yes, is filled with rage. But in addition to being a continuation of their
musical exorcism, the album delivers a sharp critique of the powers
that be, lamenting why they still have to be those in power.

Kerrang says: “This is punk as it was always meant to be: loud, ugly, righteous and alive.
I’m Nice Now isn’t just an album, it’s a survival tactic, a soundtrack to resistance in a country still burning.”
TUTV: When young punks play old skool punk you get bands like Upchuck. Their sharp-teethed tenacity, perseverance and hardihood bring 80s angry dogs Dead Kennedys and Black Flag to mind. The message is more important than the racket they all produce. As millions of Americans do, Upchuck also feel trapped by the tyrannical regime in the White House.
Their cathartic music helps them to ventilate all the shit they’re confronted with every single day. Ty Segall‘s production is spot on. I’m sure he took them to a filthy basement somewhere and created an out-of-tune sound that resonates exactly like these Atlanta bohos want to express themselves. Raw, rough, and real. The Upchuck revolution starts here.
