Upchuck is a dynamic five-piece punk band hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 2018. The band is composed of KT (vocals), Mikey (lead guitar), Hoff (rhythm guitar), Armando (bass), and Chris (drums). Their formation grew from connections made in the Atlanta skateboarding and construction scenes.
Upchuck's sound is a raw, inventive, and kinetic force, blurring the lines between psych rock, punk, hardcore, garage pop, and even elements of hip-hop. They are celebrated for their explosive live performances and their ability to channel youthful energy into brutally honest and boisterous tracks. Their music explores themes of connection, shared hunger, and surviving through "crushing reality," often with an anti-self-serious attitude. They gained significant acclaim with their 2022 debut album Sense Yourself and their 2023 second LP Bite the Hand That Feeds, which was produced by Ty Segall.
"Forgotten Token"Â is a profound new single by Upchuck, officially released on July 15, 2025. It serves as a lead track from their highly anticipated third album, "I'm Nice Now,"Â which is set to be released on October 3, 2025, via Domino Recording Co. The song was released as a double single alongside "Un Momento."
Lyrically, "Forgotten Token" is a deeply personal and emotionally charged track, with vocalist KT grappling with the unexpected death of her sister that occurred during the recording of the album. This makes the song a poignant exploration of grief, loss, and the impact of sudden tragedy. The title itself, "Forgotten Token," could refer to a memory, a lost piece of connection, or an unfulfilled aspect of life.
