We’ve been jamming out to UPSAHL<\/a><\/strong> joints over here for quite some time now, dating back a few years to the upbeat alt-indie pop pulse of V:Music fave<\/a> “Can You Hear Me Now.” Since then the Phoenix native has rolled out her own barrage of alt-pop hits, and penned a few choice tracks for the likes of Dua Lipa, Madison Beer, and DREAMERS. But as she preps her debut full-length set for release in the fall, UPSAHL is taking time out of her day to call out the douchebags around us. And we certainly thank her for her service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released last week (May 14) via Arista Records, “Douchebag” is a sharp-tongued throwback to the ’90s (\u201cI was the Courtney to your Kurt Cobain”), almost grungy in its riffing on all the lame-asses that inexplicably guest star in our life story. The George Gallardo Kattah-directed video finds UPSAHL firdt in a Street Fighter video game fending off the track’s subjects, then dealing with a steady stream of characters at the other end of the table during dates at a diner, and we all know how that story ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the first song off my debut album and the start of my story over the past year,” says UPSAHL. “I wrote it during a messy ass breakup. When it ended, it felt like a part of me ended too. Hope you guys dig the vid and stay tuned for Chapter 2!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
