HIS STORY
Texas based singer-songwriter Austin Upchurch taught himself to play guitar in his dorm room at Howard Payne University. Not long after, he took to open mic nights, song swaps, and practically anywhere someone would let him cut his teeth. Austin decided he needed a band after releasing his first single in 2016. His versatile debut album, “Breakdown” in 2020 laid the blueprint for what was to come for the Godley, Texas native.

THE BAND
Austin Upchurch fronts a five-piece band musing about how to deal with yourself. Your own sadness, life’s unpredictable nature and learning to love yourself. The band found a niche opening for other Texas rock acts such as Giovannie and The Hired Guns and Kody West, developing a loyal local fanbase of those who relate to the moody tones and in-your-face guitar riffs.

NEW RELEASE
The most recent releases with the EP “Sometimes the Sun Hurts Me” and 2023’s single “Automatic” signal the rock-forward direction of the homegrown act - moody lyrics, soaring hooks, and guitar sounds that would sound right at home on your favorite pop-punk albums.
