Who remembers that one band Kut U Up
Christophe:
They were that band that briefly were a thing due to the release of this documentary:
However, I guess they took fame a little too much to their heads and did stupid shit and never released anything past one album or so. They were on tour with three bands who are much more household names than Kut U Up ever were, and yet Kut U Up imho made much more interesting music than them combined, a mix of sort-of mathy Fugazi-ish post-hardcore and Isaac Brock-ish wailing vocals. And yet, I look at info on the band and it seems that they're lumped in a lot with really shitty pop-punk bands, bands that are about a good 1/10000th as interesting. AllMusic doesn't have a review of it up and I can't seem to find a good objective take on the album anywhere.
Am I missing something here as to why people probably don't take this band too seriously, other than their party-animal behaviour that was on full display on Riding in Vans With Boys (or that they do suck and my ears are broken) or were they just underrated and perhaps in a way ahead of their time or the scene that they seemed to fraternize with? You tell me, here are some of their songs for you to decide:
S&M Dens
Destination
Night At The Beach
Haves, Have-Nots

huh. new music. interesting....maybe.
KharBevNor:
Their music is pretty boring to my ears.
It is also worth noting that their name is embarrasingly terrible, to the kind of extent where even if I did like their music I would be embarrased to admit it in company.
Cernunnos:
Yeah, I like the music, the guy's voice is so-so, and the name is flat out terrible. Overall, good.
a pack of wolves:
That's some alright post-hardcore if nothing special, but since they only made one record and toured with past-it stadium bands instead of anyone people that listen to post-hardcore would be likely to go and see it's not at all surprising they've been rather forgotten.
Plus, Khar's right and that name is so bad they probably should be ignored as a cautionary lesson to other bands.
