Upchuck

About

Upchuck is the sonic embodiment of raw energy and unapologetic rebellion, a band that channels the chaos of youth into a sound that’s as visceral as it is unforgettable. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the five-piece outfit blends punk, garage rock, and post-punk into a frenetic, genre-defying whirlwind. Their music is a cathartic release, driven by distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and frontperson KT’s commanding, guttural vocals that oscillate between defiance and vulnerability. Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Stooges, Bikini Kill, and Bad Brains, Upchuck’s sound is a love letter to the underground, yet it feels entirely of the moment. Since their formation in 2018, Upchuck has carved out a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the DIY scene. Their breakout EP, *Sense Yourself* (2022), captured the attention of critics and fans alike, earning praise for its raw intensity and unflinching lyricism. Tracks like “It’s Me” and “Candyman” became anthems for a generation grappling with identity, alienation, and the search for belonging. Upchuck’s cultural impact lies in their ability to create a space where marginalized voices feel seen and heard. Their music is a rallying cry, a celebration of individuality, and a rejection of conformity. Recent collaborations with artists like Faye Webster and appearances at festivals like SXSW have further cemented their status as rising stars. Currently, the band is working on new material, promising to push their sound even further while staying true to their roots.
