Influences: honestly there's not alot of stuff out there that we like to listen too. That's kinda why we're here. To make the music that we like. Bands that we do like are Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, Rammstein is pretty cool, Queens of the Stone Age, we like to play jazz, Nick really digs the Beatles and Chanson digs weird al, and maybe a few other songs by a few other bands, but that's about it. Cobain once said, "trying to be like someone else is a waste of the person you are." That is applicable to us because we don't try and be like anyone, but ourselves. We don't dig covers and never play them (sometimes for soundchecks). We don't limit ourselves to one sound because that's how generic music comes out. We play what we want to play and listen to what we want to listen too. If any part of us has been influenced its not our music, but our live set. Our sets are Kind of like Mudhoney and Nirvana sets, really in the moment. We have rocked out so hard we break strings, go out of tune (and don't re-tune), plugs have come out, and there's been alot crazy things that have happened. We just like having fun, and trying to be different. Whether it's skanking or moshing. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to have heavy and hard set, but a really light and fun set at the same time. we're the upcollars and we're the best! and if you don't think so you're wrong!
Sounds Like: well to understand the up collars without actually seeing them you must first remove your lip peircing, razor, and bipolar depression from yourself and put a smile on yourface, keep the depression nearby though because you'll need it in order to feel the sheer angst we'll throw at you. you then will be subjected to skacore, dancecore, grungecore, funcore, angstcore, diecore, hardcore, and a whole lot more during this experience. you will feel your body begin to move in certain ways, such as you will feel a sudden urge to either start waltzing with the closest person to you, or you will want to skank with them, or you'll feel the urge to stage dive, before you know it there a so many stage divers that the crowd can't handle many more, or you will begin moshing and punching who ever is next to you, no you will not move to the edge of the pit and watch the select few wail on each other (jeebis) you yourself along with several others with create a vat of extreme anger followed by a really long drink from the fountain. during this time of extreme moshing you must remeber to watch your head several band members at this time have been known to throw their instruments out at the crowd or poo face larry the head will be thrown at you and the asbestids from inside will begin to fill the room with anthrax. not to worry though, no one has ever died....yet. as the time drags on we will give you a break to regain much of your energy, this song is called very virgin (its about a girl) at this time you can either make out (opposite sex only) or you can raise your lighter and/or cell phone and create a surreal atmosphere that you will remeber the rest of your life, as the song prosgresses at the end you will feel a really emotional guitar solo and sax solo thrown out by nick and chanson, if all goes to plan you will feel the deepest emotions inside yourself come to life and you will realize you finally have found what you've been looking for. If all doesn't go to plan its because chanson, once again forgot what Key his sax is in, and you will be subject to a noodled saxophone and/ or clarinet solo that may or may not have the same effect. before you know it though, the song is over and you'll do anything to get it back, such a life changing song cannot surely be over in 6 minutes, all the sudden the angst begins to rise you want to feel happy again, but you begin to feel mad. at this time we'll usually begin playing Fishy, you begin clapping to such a catchy tune that'll forever more be stuck in your head. then kenny will reach inside of himself and a drum solo will emerge that would make John Bonham cry. this solo builds and builds then you begin jumping up and down as you feel the velocity of the song you want more and more and then......everything crashes, feedback, speed picking, tapping solos, and a piece of an amp just hit you. The beat now slows down you wonder to yourself "what is going on" and then you feel it, the guitars drop into drop D you feel that depression return from and all your emotions are running and you can't stop them even though they're not running very fast...and then the open d chords come like being hit with bullets followed by very high pitched feedback that wake all the sleeping feelings within you and then everything collapses into a sheer furiousity that you could never imagine, the moshing returns you and everyone else ripping eveything apart you can hear the 6 stringed riffs of destruction slowly and quickly self destructing on themselves and catchy harmonies and screaming makes you say to yourself "my ears hurt" and then before you know it its over the upcollars are finnished with you and you'll do anything to have that happen again.....
