Uptight, formed by the fusion of the former drummer of Egghead, members of S.O.Y.A and current members of uptight is regularly rehearsing in the bunker of ‘ijmuiden’. We gave birth to a form of music which we prefer to call ‘Bunker Metal’ . This style incorporates a lot of different influences and is hard to describe with one definition.
Our sound is a mix of many others, due to the variance in interests of our bandmembers. The songs contain hardcore,power metal, stonermetal and trashmetal mixed together. The songs are filled with energy and contain riffs and lyrics which are catchy, and hit you like a brick.
We perform to express our energy, and views with the public, in the hope that we can make a difference and get the crowd moving. We try play on stage as we would play on an album, no tricks, just us. As we’re constantly trying to improve our play, we usually end up with very diverse ideas, which are reflected in our songs.
Uptight is a group of four persons, which are:
Styn: Drums
Leijer: Bass
Loco: Vocals
Lim: Guitar
In the time we’ve been together, we’ve made a lot of songs, four of which are recorded on our demo. These songs can be heard, and further info can be found on http://www.uptightinc.nl/. This site also includes live footage from earlier shows.
Our influences include Mudvayne, Primus, Slayer, Otep, Sepultura, Pantera, Rage against the Machine, Death, Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Drowning Pool, System of a Down and Six Feet Under.
