Produced by Ty Segall. Channeling the speed of youth and the heaviness of a fleshy, lived life in equal proportion, Upchuck’s second LP, \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds\u003c\/i\u003e, is a Trojan Horse par excellence, craftily smuggling in waves of sentimental emotion and clever pop songwriting under a veil of pulsing rhythms and scorching riffs. What binds Upchuck together is a purity of intention, an organic loyalty to a thick knot of uncalculated friendships, struggles, and desires. These are songs about the joy of continuing to live, songs that find each other in the rush of a crushing reality, propelling the listener onward towards a collective release, however brief it may last. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShortly after the release of their debut album \u003ci\u003eSense Yourself\u003c\/i\u003e, Upchuck absconded to Southern California to record \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds\u003c\/i\u003e, enlisting the production talents of Ty Segall and the airy reprieve of his secluded Topanga Canyon home studio. All the same, final credit for Upchuck’s evolution from \u003ci\u003eSense Yourself \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds \u003c\/i\u003emust be paid to the band itself. Following the release of their debut LP, Upchuck embarked upon a break-neck string of live shows, touring alongside the likes of Segall’s Fuzz, Amyl and the Sniffers, Negative Approach, OFF!, and Sub­humans. The razor tight focus of \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds \u003c\/i\u003ewas forged in the fire of these live shows, speaking directly to the power of their in-person presence—these are songs meant to be heard pressed up against a barricade, blasted through dimed guitar amps placed so close to your ears that you can practically reach out and touch them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its totality, \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a sonic portrait of what it feels like to be young and caught up in the thrill of it all, coursing between ripping dance grooves and thundering dirges, anti-self-serious crowd anthems and charming pop hooks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Classic","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50419508773195,"sku":"2051250","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/FC061LP_Cover_84821fb1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726748109"},{"product_id":"sense-yourself-2024-segall-mix","title":"Sense Yourself (2024 Segall Mix)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpchuck are experiencing a moment. The Atlanta punk collective just came off multiple tour runs with their good friend Faye Webster. Their Ty Segall-produced second album \u003ci\u003eBite The Hand That Feeds\u003c\/i\u003e, with all its buzzsaw guitars and high-speed rippers and headbanging sludge, arrived in October. Later this year, they’ll make appearances at multiple festivals including Coachella. In the midst of relentlessly barreling ahead, the band and their label Famous Class are taking a beat to revisit how they got here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter working with Segall on \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds\u003c\/i\u003e, the band floated the notion that they wished they could hear what their collaborator could do with the songs on their 2022 debut album \u003ci\u003eSense Yourself\u003c\/i\u003e. Holed up in his studio over Christmas with COVID and nothing else to do, Ty Segall began toying with \u003ci\u003eSense Yourself\u003c\/i\u003e, sifting through folders of unlabeled stems to find the best guitar parts, emboldening the drum sound, and bringing greater clarity to KT’s vocals, all while bolstering the urgency of the band’s overall attack. With Segall’s new mix, Upchuck’s intense and righteous debut now impossibly overflows with even more fuzz and fury. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Segall, they found a kindred spirit whose studio approach made sense for just how hard they wanted this music to hit. “When we first went to record with Ty for \u003ci\u003eBite the Hand That Feeds\u003c\/i\u003e, Mikey and I walked into the guitar room and Ty said, ‘Don’t touch the EQs.’ We looked at the amp and everything was on 10 except the master volume,” Hoff said. Previously, the band had been encouraged to capture the unvarnished sound of the studio. They’d toured with Segall’s band Fuzz, so everybody had the same goal while recording together: Capture the electricity of their intense live set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Famous Class","offers":[{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50422159868235,"sku":"2196741","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_-_2024-04-24T113801.240_521ca7d2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726762947"},{"product_id":"i-m-nice-now","title":"I'm Nice Now","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs KT puts it, there’s never been a moment when she didn’t have rage. As the singer of Upchuck, the Georgia punk band whose music is as sharp as a scythe, KT has felt fierce energy inside her well before she had the band as an outlet through which to channel it. Upchuck’s Domino debut is \u003cem\u003eI’m Nice Now\u003c\/em\u003e recorded at Sonic Ranch Studio in Texas with producer Ty Segall. But don’t mistake newfound niceness for weakness. It’s self-preservation. “In this world of constant distractions and stressors it’s important to keep your mind, body, and spirit sane and sound enough to continue through this seemingly never-ending fight,” she says. With \u003cem\u003eI’m Nice Now\u003c\/em\u003e, Upchuck channels their feverishness into an album that, yes, is filled with rage. But in addition to being a continuation of their musical exorcism, the album delivers a sharp critique of the powers that be, lamenting why they still have to be those in power. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"LP - Silver","offer_id":52906435576139,"sku":"R3701-1844","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":52906435608907,"sku":"R3701-1542","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52906435641675,"sku":"R3701-2047","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image001_d902068f-17c0-4ed9-a94e-05c527d4a4aa.jpg?v=1752574270"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/upchuck.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
