about

For the logged-on and the attention-addled, Grand Bizarre will feel familiar. It’s got the dizzy bottomlessness of being on the internet all the time. You know the feeling -- from meme to hot take to daily dispatch from friend or foe -- it’s all vertigo-inducing, crazy-making stuff. But Bottled Up metabolizes this infinite scroll into the waves their work gets to boogie board on.

Their debut release on Misra Records - Bottled Up’s Grand Bizarre takes the idea of punk and makes it global, digital, and online in 2022. From finding meaning in a world riddled with climate change, playing love’s supernatural mindgames, or, as frontman Niko Rao puts it, the daily act of "subconsciously submitting and surrendering to death" -- Bottled Up’s back-and-forth with the "Big Stuff" makes for an utterly danceable album of as-the-world-burns Italo, funk, and new wave.
