Featuring sludgy guitars, experimental instrumentation and emotive vocals and lyricism, Upsetter debut with an impressive impassioned release. For the new EP, the duo teamed up with three time ARIA-Award winning producer and long time friend Cody McWaters (The Chats, King Stingray) to record their defining new music, sharing honest self reflections, the journey of emotional processing and naked truths over the backdrop of sludgy guitar lines and passionate vocals.
