Uppercut formed in 1995. Influenced by a wide range of HC bands such as Wide Awake, Minor Threat and Up Front, they put out a demo and 2 DIY cd's before teaming up with I Scream Records to release 5 songs on the I Scream Records compilation "The New League Of Hardcore Series", followed by a full length cd entitled "A Luta Continua" (the struggle continues).

Some time after the release of this record, uppercut parted ways with drummer patrick, to make way for new drummer robert. With the arrival of this youngster, the ultra fast old school beats were more or less replaced by more solid rhythms, and the sound changed a little bit more towards that of bands like Carry On, Insted and Kill Your Idols.

A 7" was released on the small Dutch label new day records, and the band is currently working on a new full length record, to be released through I Scream Records sometime next year.

Uppercut's goal to this day has stayed the same: causing as many slampits,
singalongs and stagedive-frenzies as possible.
