Probably Fine by Lupis: Album Review

Rock band Lupis creates aggressive numbers that have the mystery of the Pixies and the raw intensity of Nirvana. Their 12-piece album titled “Probably Fine” is filled with energetic passages that’ll make your senses ooze with nostalgia from the 21st-century inception of punk and grunge rock.

Starting off with a vibing riff, we were on our way to the rebellious tune of “Catsup Packet”. The singer and guitarist Spaz Spaziani surely knows his way around a mic as he screams and adjusts the verse’s pace with a moody aura. The melodic rollercoaster continued towards “Synonym Roll” a bass-heavy uplifting track that sounds like a stampede of rock. The bass sequences have this playful synergy with the rest of the instruments that seem to follow it like an anthem. It has an interesting tempo that kinda makes your head nod sideways in excitement! “Chunky Milk” is a unique one out of the album, incorporating some funky guitar pieces accented by the screaming sections. There’s a nice flow within the guitar riffs that pertains to the creativity of surf rock and punk tunes.

I was in search of a sentimental aspect deriving from the band’s rhythmic bravado. To my surprise, “Here with You” was a charming one filled with emotional rock and roll. Starting off slow with an interesting bass and electric guitar-sounding chord structure, the song felt quite personal and had a tinge of musical therapy pertaining to a certain “cathartic release.”
