Atlanta punks Upchuck are bringing their wild live show to Australia

Atlanta punk crew Upchuck are making their Australian debut with shows across the country in March.

The five-piece outfit has built a fierce reputation in the US and Europe for their explosive live performances and politically charged sound. Upchuck blends punk, garage rock and bluesy fury into something that’s earned them shout-outs from legends like Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins.

Their latest album I’m Nice Now dropped via Domino Records, produced and mixed by Ty Segall. It’s the third release from the band, following Sense Yourself and Bite The Hand That Feeds, and marks their boldest evolution yet. Formed in 2018 by a crew of Atlanta skaters, Upchuck features KT on vocals, Mikey Durham and Hoff on guitars, Ausar Ward on bass, and Chris Salado handling vocals and drums.
