7 FROM '07 ~ PHILLY'S PHINEST :: The Late Greats
10 DELAWARE VALLEY BANDS YOU NEED TO HEAR NOW :: Philly Edge
"If you've never seen Drink Up Buttercup, you better have a damn good excuse. The Bucks County natives mix Beatle's-style pop music with gigantic psychedelic waves of perfection that seem to drip from somewhere in space. Like the perfect combination of 60s catchiness and 70s weirdness, Drink Up Buttercup pose the question, what if John Lennon snuck into Gentle Giant?"

"The psychedelic pop plied by Bucks County’s half-teenaged Drink up Buttercup is as shadowy and sickly sweet as Village Green-era Kinks, and they’ve got the saloon-style piano, sideshow percussion and batty harmonies to drive the comparison home. Behind it all, of course, is a tuneful glare that jumps out like a 3-D movie. “Evil Pink Sunshine†and “Alien Toes,†namely, inhabit their own freaky universe with a leering slant on fringe-pop worthy of Elephant 6."

"Sometimes when people use words like quirky or eclectic it doesn't always connote a positive thing. However as I think of these words to describe what these lo-fi demos sound like to me, I say it in only the most positive manner. This is the sound of a young band with an ambitious musical vision."
"Drink Up remind me of Love You era Beach Boys and early Frank Zappa. Drink Up!"

"Without a moment to waste they started with the song "Mr. Pie Eyes†that was delivered with gusto, playing garbage cans, big shakers and their vocals in full throttle. Especially enthralling is their ability to slow things down and instantly pick up the velocity. They are FUN to watch.
They combine theatrics. experimental instrumentation and rough percussion with added Beatle like harmonies. Yes, their harmonies and vocals are always on pitch and that good. They sound like Animal Collective goes pop.
It is great to see a young band with so much promise and enthusiasm, who are eager and ready to make somebody's day. They made mine."
