Upchuck

Atlanta’s Upchuck - vocalist KT, guitarists Mikey Durham and Hoff, bassist Ausar Ward, and drummer/vocalist Chris Salado - share their newest single 'Tired'.

This latest track is the ferocious opening track of their forthcoming new album I’m Nice Now (due out October 3rd).

The track finds KT desperately trying to keep her feelings of hopelessness at bay. Alongside a thunderous beat and scalding guitar riffs, she confronts the constant spectacle of social injustice that has become a daily drudgery for her generation: “How many times I gotta tell ‘em that our pockets cryin’?... How many people you gon’ lie to and say you’re not lyin’?”

Her vicious vocal performance spirals over and over like the endless depressing news cycle, but it’s not a signal of defeat; it’s a sharp critique, maybe even a threat, to the powers that be: “And I’m tired of the darker news / And I’ve tried warning you / It feels right scaring you.”

I’m Nice Now was produced and mixed by Ty Segall at Sonic Ranch Studio and mastered by Heba Kadry and includes the previously released singles “Plastic,” “Forgotten Token,” and “Un Momento.”

Following two searing performances at Green Man Festival as well as two London shows earlier last month, Upchuck will head out on a headline tour in the States in September before returning to the UK & Europe in November.
