UPSET THE RHYTHM

Alternative

Love No More

Alta Falls are releasing the title track of their debut EP. ‘The Fire’ is a high-energy track that packs a punch with catchy lyricism carried by a euphoric kind of feeling. It’s one that’s sure to go off live with danceable beats and punchy hooks.

The Fire

Whisper (Radio Edit)

Abc Dialect — Feels Right

Nothing Left to Dream was recorded by Dolorifics, mixed by Olle Mossberg and mastered by Magnus Lindberg @ Redmount Studios. Released by Nasty Cut Records. Special thanks to Simon Eklund Teimouri who assisted us at the recording session.

Japanese punks Nicfit have a restive (and decidedly not festive) new single out now called ‘Deviation’! 

‘Deviation’ is also streaming on all the usual digi-platz and features on the band’s debut LP ‘Fuse’, out Jan 14th through Upset The Rhythm.

Late At Night

Pain

lyrics:

and i'll go
i guess i'll push myself away
but i don't mind it cause i know
i know work i did will stay

2000 years and its today ill wanna stop
i'd fill the holes within my hands… 
space remains, nothing i drop

i went outside today
i'd let myself decay

Today we’re sharing another soaring single from Quinie’s new album ‘Forefowk, Mind Me’ (out May 23rd). ‘Col My Love’ is the very first track on the album, and it’s a powerful song to sing, accompanied by some epic pipes too. Quinie explains that the words “warn of the dangers of being close to the shoreline. I thought it would be a good fit with this footage of me and Maisie trying to navigate one of the challenges on one of our walks. Perhaps not quite as scary as being jailed on a cliff top, but nevertheless an adventure.” 

Enjoy!

Quinie - 'Col My Love'

Me Lost Me returns today with the second miraculous single from their forthcoming album ‘This Material Moment’ (out June 27th through Upset The Rhythm). 

‘A Painting of the Wind’ is an astonishing song that we’ve loved in Jayne’s set for a while, it grapples with how artists try to express the inexpressible and how art is used as a means of escape and fantasy. The track is streaming everywhere now and is accompanied by this exquisite landscape portal of a video filmed at Raby Castle by Amelia Read:

‘This Material Moment’ can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp and our very own webshop too.
We all love to be carried away!

It’s almost obligatory to release a folk song on May Day, but here we are on May 2nd still bringing in the May! Enjoy Quinie’s evocative new single ‘Sallow Buckthorn’ out now. It’s a mesmeric sea of swirling sound and Scots poetry.

Full video: https://youtu.be/Zoge5FKvJz0

“Ye micht o thought the sallow buckthorn, Ne’er a hairst could hain”
("You might have thought the buckthorn would be so pale, that no harvest could hold it.”)

Ancient Summer

Cor Blimey! On August 15th Upset The Rhythm will release a split 7” EP by Linda Smith and The Smashing Times. Both based in Baltimore and both best buds, this record celebrates that friendship sharing two new tracks by each act; united by DIY spirit, a bedroom-pop sensibility and now a puddle of black vinyl. Today you can witness their tea-based, umbrella-powered advertisement, listen to Linda’s track ‘So Long Ago’ (streaming through the digital ether) and even choose to pre-order the coveted disc yourself from our Bandcamp or UTR webshop: https://upsettherhythm.co.uk/

Songwriter Linda Smith has a gentle but unconventional experimental style that continues to evolve as she adds new entries to her storied catalogue. Smith’s pioneering work with four-track production in the '80s found her at the beginning of a home-recording movement that would set the pace for the decades of indie rock that followed. During this most active period, Smith's music was limited mostly to obscure cassette and 7" releases. This trailblazing time was recently revisited on Captured Tracks’ compilation ‘Till Another Time: 1988-1996’. Shortly after Smith’s retrospective, she teamed up with like-mind and collaborator Nancy Andrews to release an album of beguiling pop entitled ‘A Passing Cloud’ (2023). The duo performed songs from that record at Upset The Rhythm’s 20th anniversary party at Café OTO that same year. 2024 saw further reissues of Smith’s music including Nothing Else Matters (1995) and I So Liked Spring (1996).
 
The Smashing Times are a premier East Coast Pop Experimental Group. They have also gleefully performed in London for Upset The Rhythm twice in quick succession. Known for their dogtooth style, waggish mod attitude and tumbledown sound, The Smashing Times have holes in their socks and sit idly between The Kinks and Tori Kudo. Their previous albums on K Records, Perennial and Meritorio are a cherished commodity steeped in Paisley psych and slapdash panache. 
 
This split 7” EP comprises 4 new tracks. Two from Linda Smith in keyboard-warble anthem mode and two low-fidelity daytrips by The Smashing Times. It will be released on 500 black vinyl 7”s by Upset The Rhythm on August 15th 2025.
