<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bay Area-based punk rock band the Shutups have recently released their sophomore LP, &#8220;I can&#8217;t eat nearly as much as I want to vomit.&#8221; The record came out via Kill Rock Stars on October 21st. It&#8217;s an excellent collection of songs featuring many different genre influences and delivery styles that are cleverly blended to create a cohesive record. The lead vocals are delivered with a great sense of urgency. As the songs smoothly shift in and out of experimental sections, the listener is reminded of the true mastery Shutups possess. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The poppiest song on their 10-song record is &#8220;100Punk.&#8221; Shutups released a simple but brilliant music video for the song featuring band members singing into a microphone in a dark room as neon-lit lyrics pop up around their faces. The music video is as captivating as the music, which seems to draw from retro-punk influences while also pulling from their listed most significant influences; The Strokes, Pixies, and Weezer. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The chorus lyrics of &#8220;100Punk&#8221; are an ode to procrastination based anxiety and scream: &#8220;<em>The longer you ignore the worse it gets / I feel it creep, creeping in.</em>&#8221; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A heavier song on the record is &#8220;Televised Hit &; Run.&#8221; Lots of distortion on both guitars and vocals is a hallmark of this song and record. Shutups complete the track with another clever music video concept. Watch on YouTube now: </p>
