THE UPRIGHTS
@theuprights.bsky.social
The Uprights are an artist collective. We consist of an author, a cartoonist, a photographer, a videographer and a poet. We also enjoy writing and recording songs together. We are devoted to music, to pleasure and to life.
Sadly, there has been another school shooting. This time in Bend, Oregon. Whenever these horrific events occur, The Uprights are compelled to repost our song, Shadow of a Gun. 'Isn't there an answer anywhere?' www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qT7...

We have been overwhelmed by the positive comments and reviews of our latest song, After The Afterglow. Thank you so much for your kind words about a song that takes on such a difficult subject as suicide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzW-...

Jose Martinez claims to be a writer for Complex. He's not. He is a blogger who will try to scam you. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!! He will continue to tack on more and more charges every time you think you have concluded the transaction. There are legit reviewers. He's not one of them.
Our drummer, John, has taken photos from all over the world while on tour with The Uprights. You can check them out here: bsky.app/profile/john...
