Keep It Up is a band that likes to play their songs fast and loud. This is just what you get on their debut self titled album. A band that is trying to bring the old  hardcore music to a resurgence, they do an okay job with their fast, sloppy guitar and fairly short songs. This album really needs a way better recording done on it. but when you listen to hardcore punk, its never clean or full of mistakes, so this fits with what the band is trying to do. You may have heard of this band through Alexisonfire as their merch guy is in this band so it was sometimes available at those shows. There is not really one song to listen to over the others, they all seem to just meld into each other but listen to a few anyways. Overall, this band has done an okay job on what they are trying to do, but if they want to make it further, some tweaks and progression is needed to round out the sound. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
