There is a much deserved “Band To Watch” post coming from me about Drink Up Buttercup. If you don’t know who Drink Up Buttercup are, you better get acquainted with them real fast. You are going to be seeing plenty of them on my blog. They are four men from Philadelphia who gained a strong following because of their reputation for great live shows. Like I said, I am going to do a “Band To Watch” feature on the band soon, so I won’t go too in depth about them just yet. (I like to keep you on your heels. Gotta leave ’em coming back for more, right?) The band make music that captures you by the throat and fills your buddy with magnificent sounds that sound like no one else out there.
The band first gained attention of fans when they released a 7 inch of their first single “Sosey and Dosey”. I am not surprised that this song got the ball rolling for the band. The song fucking slays! It literally sounds like the band went to the circus and wrote a song to compliment the eccentric mood. The song starts with sinister vibe and falls into a wave of psychedelic vocals. In brief, “Sosey and Dosey” sounds like an acid trip gone terribly right. I love the unearthly electronic ending to the song, it sounds like something Animal Collective are responsible of. Brilliant!
Lets take a breather. Do you see how many different ways I was able to describe this song? Pretty amazing right? I’m telling you, do not sleep on Drink Up Buttercup! Their debut album Born And Thrown On A Hook is coming out on March 23rd.
