Released in 2023, I'm Nice Now finds Upchuck sharpening their teeth and flashing a crooked grin, delivering a punk record that thrives on tension, humor, and raw momentum.

Hailing from Atlanta’s restless underground, Upchuck built their reputation on sweat-soaked shows and songs that feel barely contained. I'm Nice Now captures that chaos while pushing the band into a more focused, confrontational space. It is louder, leaner, and more self-aware, balancing sarcasm with genuine bite as the band wrestles with power, identity, and the absurdity of modern life.

The sound is classic punk with a serrated edge - blown-out guitars, pummeling drums, and vocal performances that swing between sneer and shout. Tracks like Freaky and Plastic explode with breakneck energy, while Boss Up channels pure antagonistic swagger. The title track I’m Nice Now twists irony into a rallying cry, proving Upchuck knows exactly when to smirk and when to strike.

Pressed on black vinyl, this release is built for repeat spins and maximum volume. I'm Nice Now is not about politeness or restraint - it is about control through chaos and confidence through noise. For collectors of contemporary punk, this album captures a band hitting their stride and daring listeners to keep up.
