The Uprising (US)
THE UPRISINGS MUSIC COVERS A LARGE SPECTRUM OF MUSICAL TASTES. HAVING SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSICAL INFLUENCES ALLOWS THE BAND TO PLAY A WIDER VARIETY OF STYLES THAN MOST OTHER YOUNG BANDS. IN RECENT SUCCESS THE BAND HAD THEIR SONG, THIS OLD TOWN, CHOOSEN TO BE FEATURED ON THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE, KALAMAZOO?
