Upchuck – I'm Nice Now

The band was influenced heavily by the Stooges and, after becoming so tight from the road, recorded live to tape. There are minimal overdubs. They kept it going until they got it as right as it needed to be. Also adding vocals on the spot was the band’s drummer Chris, who the band encouraged to write lyrics in his native Spanish and duet with KT on a couple songs, something he’d not done before on an album. He aimed to blend the sound of the cumbia music he was raised on with Upchuck’s traditional punk to fuse something unique.
