All You Got

Cuffed Up have a knack for distilling big dreams into sound. Their debut album All You Got, tipped at KEXP, Paste Magazine, FLOOD Magazine and more is available as a eco-mix vinyl via Hit the North Records. It is filled with dreams of bigger stages, a more open heart and a more equitable society-in short, dreams that are swiftly dismissed as naive. For this Los Angeles three-piece, "anthemic" is not just an apt descriptor of their sound, it's an ethos. In every swelling chorus, ardent guitar riff and rich cascade of cymbals is a seed of hope that things will take a turn for the better. After all, this band has been to hell and back, whether it's multiple lineup changes, industry roadblocks or a global pandemic, and they're used to being written off as starry-eyed.
