DUKES UP

About Me

Hailing from Santa Cruz,CA, this band plays a modern hardcore style that sounds like Champion and Go It Alone. Their songs are fast, melodic, and heavy with lyrics that encourage you to stay positive and ignore the pressure to conform to certain ideals. This band almost made me a believer until a clip from "Say Anything" came on and lost me-sorry, but it's just a little too emo for me to handle.-Maximum Rock and Roll- March issue.

if you really like us, head over to Silly Girl Records or Interpunk and buy a copy of our full-length for about 5 bucks
