[PRE-ORDER] Upchuck - I'm Nice Now [Indie-Exclusive Silver Vinyl] [Release Date: 10/03/2025]

Today Upchuck, the Atlanta punk quintet of vocalist KT, guitarists Mikey Durham and Hoff, bassist Ausar Ward, and drummer/vocalist Chris Salado, announce their third LP and Domino debut I’m Nice Now, due out October 3. The album was produced and mixed by Ty Segall at Sonic Ranch Studio and mastered by Heba Kadry.

As 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. As a Black woman in America, rage has been the tint on the window through which she’s had to view the world. The experience of listening to Upchuck is to feel a distillation of that existence, all of its pain, sorrow, anger, and fear translated through raw punk music.

Perhaps, after so many years of wading in the muck, KT is over it. Upchuck’s Domino debut is I’m Nice Now. 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.
