Hailing from Philadelphia, the psychedelic foursome Drink Up Buttercup came together in 2008. Thriving in the Philly indie music scene, the four young musicians were soon making a name for themselves for their creative live performances. Three rings, plenty of trash-can banging, and an abundance of inspired melodies has brought the band enough repute to release, tour, and release again. They've gotten some impressive praise from big-name sources. The New York Times recently said this of their performances: "Drink Up Buttercup, a quartet from Philadelphia that lunges joyously into every jangly chord and full-throated chorus…brought a smile to every face I could see, and the bashing on that garbage can lid couldn't obscure some genuinely pretty and expressive harmonies."
Their latest, "Born and Thrown on a Hook" is Beatles-esque (but somehow molded into a sound deeply their own). It's surreal but storied, and the influences are obvious but not at all too much. One could describe it best as "a mix between Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, The Doors and The Beatles".
