While poking around online today, I found a link to the first (and to date, only) Ep from Kansas City’s the Uprights. It’s called Going Somewhere, and you can download it in ZIP format here. Five songs of classy two-tone goodness that’ll make you want get out ya seat and move yo’ feet, especially “31st and Gillham”, the last track.

As a sad aside, the kid you hear singing, Richie Restivo, was stabbed to death in a parking lot several years back, and the band just hasn’t been the same since. I was fortunate to get to do a story on the band a few years back, and he was my point of contact for the whole thing. This is a fitting memorial to him, however.
