Upon Us by Taproot
Upon Us is an album by Taproot, released in 1999. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Again and Again”, on 4 lists with a best position of #41.
Upon Us, released on May 11, 1999, is a demo collection from Taproot, the Ann Arbor, Michigan alternative metal outfit, gathering highlights from their first demo, ...Something More Than Nothing, and the elusive Mentobe EP. The lineup was Stephen Richards on vocals and guitar, Mike DeWolf on guitar, Phil Lipscomb on bass and Jarrod Montague on drums.
It's raw, clenched, coiled-riff stuff, and it caught enough ears that the band signed with Atlantic that same year. "Again and Again", which resurfaced on their Atlantic debut Gift, is the calling card here. A stripped-down sampler with just three songs also circulated in blue and red covers, and the full album remains a hard-to-find item that fans mostly pass around online.
