Atlanta punks Upchuck have announced a new album, I’m Nice Now, which will be out October 3 via Domino. It’s their first for the label and it was produced by Ty Segall.
“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,” says singer KT of the album’s themes. “Being a POC, by default, you’re gonna have that rage. You’re gonna have that desire for change, and that desire for the fuckery to end.”
I’m Nice Now includes their recent single “Plastic,” and they’ve just shared two new songs: ripper “Un Momento” featuring lead vocals by drummer Chris Salado, and the more brooding, KT-led “Forgotten Token.” Watch videos for both below.
Upchuck will be on tour this fall following their appearance at Levitation in Austin, and play Brooklyn’s Elsewhere Zone One on October 20. All dates are listed below.
