Philadelphia’s The Bad Ups will release their upcoming LP, ‘Life of Sin’ on September 27 via Jump Start Records

We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single “Ego Trip” from Philadelphia, PA Punks The Bad Ups

The Bad Ups have a blistering melodic catchy sound that is straight up phenomenal. We have played “Ego Trip” a million times and we can’t get enough of it .

Frontman Travis McKayle says,“‘Ego Trip’ is about finding your place in the world while staying true to yourself.”

The four-piece punk band draws heavy inspiration from the Epitaph and Fat Wreck bands of the 90s and early 2000s, while also embracing the rhythms of traditional ska and reggae. Channeling the spirit of Bad Brains, they blend these genres into a unique sound.

McKayle, who is of Jamaican descent, named the band The Bad Ups after the Caribbean patois term “baddup”—which means to treat someone poorly or violently. This name reflects their intense musical style and their ability to connect with the term’s cultural roots.

We are over the moon excited for the upcoming LP, ‘Life of Sin’ on September 27 via Jump Start Records. You can Pre order Here
