The Bad Ups Reveal “Better Than You” Video

Philadelphia’s The Bad Ups recently released their new full length, Life of Sin, via Jump Start Records and have now released the video for the track Better Than You. The four-piece punk band draws heavy inspiration from the Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords bands of the 90s and early 2000s, while also embracing the rhythms of traditional ska and reggae. Channeling the spirit of Bad Brains, they blend these genres into a unique sound.

Frontman Travis McKayle who is of Jamaican descent, named the band The Bad Ups after the Caribbean patois term “baddup”, which means to treat someone poorly or violently. This name reflects their intense musical style and their ability to connect with the term’s cultural roots. The Bad Ups are currently gearing up for a national and international tour in support of Life of Sin.
