Button Up are one of these punk bands that when I hear them I think fondly about stuff. All kinds of stuff really. Friends. Youth. My pets. Falafels. New Jersey. They have a really fun and heartfelt self titled full length on bandcamp which you should definitely check out for free and more importantly they have this 7″ out now on Get Better Records which you should most definitely buy for not-free.
“Scratching Post” will immediately bring a smile to your face. I can’t listen to this and not be put in a good mood. Reminds me of early Weston and maybe even a little early J Church in that their songs perfectly encapsulate the murky waters of early adulthood while still having one foot firmly planted in joyful adolescence. Button Up are youthful without being immature. Fun without being a joke. And earnest without having to sport beards and flannel shirts.
You can listen to the whole thing right now here but c’mon dude…music on a computer??? That’s so 1999. Get the 7″. It’s one of these new mixed colored records I keep seeing pop up in my mailorder deliveries. I dig em. Earth friendlier and entirely unique. My copy is kinda a purply black swirly typa deal.
