Gothenburg’s UPPLOPPET Issue Garage Rendition of “Golden Eyes”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

Their motto is: "Nifty, gritty and fast rock 'n' roll from the mighty town of sea gods..." Here is an act makes no bones about stirring up super-charged mayhem, dubbed action rock. Appropriate for a band calling themselves UPPLOPPET, that is "the riot."

Indeed, one might have to quell their own urge to play mosh in the living room or cubicle while taking in the Swedish quintet's latest live clip of recent single "Golden Eyes." This rhythmically-driven anthem speaks of a confrontation between the singer (whose eyes appear steely blue) and those with staunch opinions about what he should do with his life (the golden eyes).

Says the band:

The song is somehow flirting with all subgenres of rock music with everything from pop rock to fast punk rock with a nice chorus to sing along with even if you don't really know the lyrics! The song is about buttering up to people to try to earn something you don't deserve. But in the end you end up with nothing and everything is taken away from you. It's somewhat a request to people to be real and honest about themselves. Hope you enjoy this garage session that we rocked this banger out for you!

It should not only give a big boost to your day, but get you thirsty to see the band do their thing on the big stage (ironically, their last record was titled, You Wish This Was Live). Look for more to come from these Swedish mayhem makers on The Sign Records.

Give ear...

WATCH & LISTEN: Upploppet - "Golden Eyes"

SOME BUZZ

Upploppet is the latest addition to the scandirock Mount Rushmore, with influences hailing from titans such as Gluecifer, MC5, Union Carbide Productions and many more. This just goes to show you that this band stomps all over rock n' roll history with its own twist. The music represents the dangerous side of rock. With no prisoners being held, a raw attitude and a live show like no other, Upploppet is pulling the torch from the fists of the old geezer's that once held it.

Golden Eye by Upploppet

The band has already gone through the DIY process, recording several EP's in their rehearsal space in the outskirts of Gothenburg, Sweden. Their latest DYI release 'You Wish This Was Live' (mixed by Tomas Skogsberg) put them on the face of the rock scene in their city.

Without having to put out a full length LP, the band has already visited the outer parts of Europe and are now planning their next step to conquer the earth. UPPLOPPET have previously released a bunch of raw digital singles and a split 7" with Scumbag Millionaires.

You Wish This Was Live by Upploppet

With their latest single "Golden Eyes" (recorded and mixed in Welfare Studios) the band shows once again that they are evolving and getting stronger as a unit. The Sign Records noticed when other oblivious labels were kept in the dark, so they took Upploppet under their wings and released their single.

Upploppet is now in the making of their debut album in Welfare Sounds, which surely is a recipe for total destruction on the music scene. Everyone, put your seatbelts on and stay tuned.

Album Review: Green King - Hidden Beyond Time (The Sign Records)

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll bloody well head-bang.

Hidden Beyond Time is the debut album by Finnish heavy metal group Green King. Inspired by the many subgenres of heavy music, it will be released via The Sign Records on the 16th of December 2022. While there is a ‘you never know what you’ll get next’ to Green King’s debut album, it is undeniably heavy metal. At its core, Hidden Beyond Time wants you to head-bang, it just so happens that Green…

the city I live in had to take down a big old tree on public property down the street from where I live but before they did it they stapled a sign to it giving the reason (tree was dead and rotting and was a threat to the road and power lines) and then included contact info for objections to removing it to be brought before the city and idk I know it’s not much but I just think that’s….nice. like a nice acknowledgment that people have connections to plants and particularly big old trees around where they live and should at least be able to be like Please Do Not Cut Down This Big Old Tree For A Parking Lot Or Something. their reasoning for this one was super valid and they did indeed remove the tree earlier this week but quite frankly I was just like. surprised to (at least in theory) be able to have a say in it at all lmao

what is your opinion on the situation?

I've been at work all day so I haven't been able to sit down with stuff fully, it also seems like Caiti is planning to release a statement later today with more information I think? So I'd like to get her response there, but based on what I've seen so far I think I fall more on the side of "people made some dumb choices and should learn from them" than anything else.

Consent is messy and it gets messier when people start lying or are drunk. In this case, both Caiti and George were drunk. From what I understand, either Caiti had a 21+ wristband from the vidcon party, or her friend group did and assumed since she was drinking with them, she was also 21+.

Honestly, when it comes to the matter of underage drinking, I don't think it's even remotely fair to place blame on Dream/George for that. The blame there lies with Caiti deciding to drink while under 21, and on her friends, Ghostie and the other person present who were both over 21. Unlike Dream/George, both of them knew Caiti and knew exactly how old she was and were letting her drink. They were also letting her drink with no one sober and no one making sure she got home.

Now, Caiti is 18 and also I'm not a goddamn square, I'm not gonna stand here and be like "oh no drinking at 18 clutch my pearls" but like, if people are going to blame other people for that situation, that very much lies with Caiti's friends who knew they had an underage person drinking with them. I feel like people are weirdly assigning blame to Dream/George for not like, iding every person they hang out with (particularly if she had a 21+ bracelet at vidcon, which would mean she already got IDed). While completely avoiding placing any blame on the people who 100% knew they were taking an 18 year old drinking without a doubt.

Putting that aside, from my understanding George's side is he believed at the time that she was having fun, and the most they did was cuddle on a couch with other people there. He believed at the time that everything was cool, and that she later decided she was uncomfortable with what happened.

Honestly, I don't really think that's an unfair reading. At this same party, her best friend was there and from Ghostie's own words, she also didn't realize Caiti was uncomfortable until several months later when Caiti told her. If her best friend didn't notice she was uncomfortable or see anything wrong, then I find it hard to think anyone else would pick up on it.

There's certainly risks taken here that I wouldn't have taken. I think that George needs to do better with checking for consent and maybe vetting the people you're hanging out with. Although I also understand that doing a full background check on everyone you ever meet is an absurd requirement and if, at the time, they trusted the person that they actually invited, I get how that shit happens. Per consent, given that he was also drunk, I get how it may've appeared to him that he had consent. I do think it's still something to work on, but I'm also perfectly aware that in real life, people are often going off vibes and social cues, and sometimes those don't mash.

I also think that Caiti's friends have been pretty shitty throughout this. They take no responsibility for having let an 18 year old drink and then ditching her. They are absolutely milking drama out of this shit and they have a weird obsession with blaming Dream for shit he had no fault in.

As for Dream, I don't think he did anything wrong here. Full stop. If Caiti's best friend didn't notice that she was uncomfortable or unhappy, it's insanely unreasonable to expect Dream to have managed that. He was also drunk and hanging out with people, and he had no way of knowing Caiti was underage. None of that shit was his fault, and his statement seems very measured and reasonable. People are trying to blame him for things that he had absolutely no part in, and the UK group are absolutely trying to pull that shit.

Overall, sounds like several people involved made dumb choices, I hope they learn and grow. Otherwise all of this honestly sounds like shit that should've been talked out privately and not tossed to the internet for speculation. Human beings are messy and will fuck up sometimes. This feels like a case of miscommunication and people making risky choices that left people with some hurt.

Again, I may change my mind with further evidence presented, but that's how it feels to me.

Wait, is Lilia canonically 700? I thought he was thousands of years old. Did I miss something in Chapter 7....

I thought so too! the stuff about his real birthday being lost to time, the way he talks about the planetary alignment thing that only happens every 100 years, and other things like that made me think he was waaaay older than he is. but nope, in 7-26 he says he's just shy of turning 700! (so he's actually like. 699.) his particular type of fae can live to around 1000, but he's running down early because he pushed himself too much when he was younger (and also he plays too many online games) (he was probably not serious about that but c'mon, man, at least use a blue-light filter or something).

meanwhile, Mal is from a much longer-lived race that doesn't even reach adulthood until 1000 (500 is young adult, and 200 is still a little fledgeling dragon baby). Lilia doesn't say exactly how old he is, except that he's developmentally a "little" older than the third-years (so like about 20 in dragon years? ...can Leona sense this. is this part of why he sees Malleus as his Eternal Rival.) which means he's probably somewhere around or just under 500.

...I just realized that, depending on when it happened, this means Lilia might've been, like, mentally a teenager during the flashback of The Time Baby Malleus Almost Killed Everybody. he's just had Dad Instincts his entire life, I guess.
