    Their combination of on-point messaging, unyielding intensity, and wall-rattling musical power guarantees their future even as I'm Nice Now goes a long way to positioning them as the most important band of right now.

    The shadowy melodies of New Case and Forgotten Token, a pulverising meditation on displacement, display a depth and sophistication suggesting greatness in Upchuck's future, if the dystopia doesn't get them first. [Jan 2026, p.84]

    This is punk as it was always meant to be: loud, ugly, righteous and alive.

    Racing through 13 tracks in just 30 minutes, their third album (and first for new label, Domino) is no less succinctly potent. [Christmas 2025, p.135]

    The Atlanta punks’ Domino debut is just as fiery and loud and boisterous as their previous material.
