Upchuck are musical daredevils who effortlessly blend the speed of youth with the weight of a fleshy, lived life. Their second LP, ‘Bite the Hand That Feeds’, is the Trojan Horse of tunes, sneakily delivering sentimental emotion and clever pop songwriting under a cover of pulsing rhythms and scorching riffs. United by a purity of intention, Upchuck’s music is the result of uncalculated friendships, struggles, and desires – a chaotic concoction of surviving the night, youth-blinded love, cheap champagne-soaked back-alley parties, and street protests, all tied together by the universal need for connection. In a world of arbitrary rules, Upchuck provides freedom through sensation, inviting you to join their party and make life more worth living. Thanks to Ty Segall’s touch, ‘Bite the Hand That Feeds’ elevates to bold new heights, blending commanding drum polyrhythms, oddball effects, and fuzzed-out guitars pushed into the red.
