Domino is thrilled to announce its newest signing Upchuck, the incendiary Atlanta punk band of KT (vocals), Mikey Durham (guitar), Hoff (guitar), Ausar Ward (bass), and Chris Salado (vocals, drums). Today the band shares its scorching new single “Plastic,” produced and mixed by Ty Segall and mastered by Heba Kadry, and with a video directed by Ian Cone. In a two-minute blitz of scuzzy guitars and spitting vocals, “Plastic” contains the key to Upchuck’s ethos of authenticity: in a PVC world of hollowness and artificiality, you have to fight to find what’s real. “Algo me hace falta (‘something is missing’),” Chris howls on the Spanish-language bridge. The answer, exhorts KT, is to “know classics - know truths - know reason - know you.”
Upchuck burst into being in 2018 as a band of Atlanta skaters in their early 20s, fronted by the magnetic performer KT, and quickly became hometown heroes thanks to their uproarious live shows. 2022 saw the release of their debut full-length Sense Yourself on Brooklyn’s Famous Class Records and was followed soon after by 2023’s Bite The Hand That Feeds, produced by Ty Segall. Early singles like “Freaky” and “Facecard” won support from the likes of Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, who both played tracks on their radio shows, as well as press attention for their “die-hard attitude” (Vogue) and “lightning-hot bursts of energy” (The Fader). The burgeoning legend of Upchuck’s live show continued to spread internationally, with support tours with fellow Atlantan Faye Webster – who calls Upchuck her favorite band – Amyl & The Sniffers, Soul Glo, OSEES, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and an attention-grabbing slot at Coachella 2024. “Everything explodes,” wrote Rolling Stone after catching them at SXSW. “The club becomes a sonic cannon, set to maximum destruction. Every song hits this hard.”
