#good music
Come through on Saturday!
We at UP Underground will be launching the 6th LoFi! LoFi is an annual compilation of different songs from different artists from different genres. This will be, obviously, the sixth one we’re releasing, and what’s cool is LoFi songs are ALL LOCAL, ALL INDIE, ALL FOR FREE! We’ll be giving out physical copies at the gig, so be at Mow’s on December 5 at exactly 9pm. (Yes, exactly 9pm, because we always start on time.)
BONUS:This time around, we’re holding the super special Mixtape Madness. You just create a mixtape, upload it and send the shortened URL online, and bring a note with the link to the gig. If you do it before the deadline, you get in for free! The mixtape submission has been extended to DECEMBER 4!The mixtapes will be exchanged between people who have never ever met, so that’s kinda cool, too.
We hope to see you there!

amabilia refluit / lovely ebbs
Caught up, delving deep
Lost in the realm of my mind
Hearing those words of yours
In every place, in every space
Over and again in straight lines
How do I express
Everything you represent?
Every word I’ve ever thought about you
Within the confines of my head?
You’re amabilia refluit
And more than just it
And your words, they seem to fit
In every place, in every space
Of the world
That we’re living in
Like my personal favourite adverb
There you were
Like my favourite word
There you were
And I cant describe you
Not with one word
Not with a million
Only without words
And you can’t understand
The meaning behind
Every letter I’ve sent
Cos you’ve never been in my head
And you can never understand
Why to me
You are truly amabilia refluit
- nail-in-the-wall [14.10.19] (Lovely is my favourite way to describe my best friend Ebbs. So that’s why I’ve added “Amabilia Refluit” which means “Lovely Ebbs” in Latin to this poem. I always write a quote/poem the five days after he releases his latest song and tell people to listen to it cos I like him and I like doing it! I genuinely love him and all his music! Anyway, it’s on all the usual streaming places and is called Breathe by Seb. Please have a listen! You’ll love it!

Tyler Farr - Hello Goodbye
I love when I come across new music. Not new necessarily in terms of release date, but new as in the first time I hear it. Tyler’s Redneck Crazy is one of my favorite country songs, and just last night browsing YouTube I discovered this song. I have to say, this is one of the most brilliantly written and beautifully performed songs I have heard in a while. I’m a huge fan of artists who write songs about things they have been through, and Tyler puts so much emotion into this one. Give it a listen!
The Fray- How To Save A Life
I always forget how much I love The Fray. I listen to a wide variety of music, and sometimes The Fray will just drop off my radar for a long time. They released a new album this year. I found it on Spotify and here I am listening to them again and I rediscover how good there music is. Isaac Slade has such a unique, distinctive and passionate voice.
Underrated 80’s Alternative Bands You Need to Listen To:
bc the 80s weren’t all just discos and legwarmers right?
The Replacements ~ a true underground band that’s wayyyy too underrated. just check them out
Minutemen~ that kind of effortless singing and basic riffs that just make really good, politically motivated music (lol)
The Feelies ~ nerdy, catchy stuff. for a reference, if weezer was a little older and was more punk
Mission of Burma ~ punk/alternative stuff, weird (but good) time shifts and piercing chords that aren’t basic or repetitive
The Cramps ~ super creepy but catchy music, it’s really unique garage-rock stuff
Gang of Four ~ part of the early punk movement, lots of political tunes with strong guitar/drum solos
The Dream Syndicate ☁️~ rock/alternative with a little bit of 80s pop elements included. super good guitar riffs and unique vocals
Meat Puppets ~ this is a mean emoji. but this band encompasses all aspects of rock and punk which makes really catchy and head banger music
definitely recommend all of these artists especially *** The Lemon Twigs, The Buttertones, Benjamin Booker and Marlon Williams ***

DMA’s✖️(one of the greatest bands I’ve ever heard, big Oasis vibes, highly recommend)
The Struts (retro rock, super catchy)

Bloodboy (good punk/pop, not some emo screamy shit, amazing voice and cool songs)
SWMRS☀️(right in between the indie and punk genre - anyways it’s catchy and super good music)
Shame (an awesome band with songs that have a classic-rock sound to them with modern influences, some of my favorite new songs)
The Buttertones (think of The Cramps with a saxophone, really really unique alternative music that is really worth a listen)
Gang of Youths▪️(more indie-alternative but really catchy songs that are actually deep and not about cigarettes and sex and british shit)
Otherkin (garage-punk songs, basic riffs and melodies that are composed so well together, reminds me of early alternative/punk stuff)
Gallus (they only have one song and ik they’re gonna be huge, so please give a listen)
Mt. Eddy (their album is one of my favorites, reminiscent of early Strokes stuff, alternative/indie sounds with strong guitar and drums)
Alex Lahey ⚡️ ~ indie pop songs that will immediately make you fall in love
Catfish and the Bottlemen (just in case you haven’t listened to these fools, please do and thank you. indie-alternative godly music that will make you an expert in british slang {“lippy” is chapstick HA} while restoring your faith in decent music)
