I am extremely proud to announce what we have been working on for the past month. On December 14th a huge tragedy occurred in Connecticut and left us wondering what we could do to help. After a few hours we came up with this. "Nutmeg State of Mind" is a compilation which we will release tomorrow that features 19 tracks from 19 different awesome Connecticut artists from different genres and backgrounds. We will be selling the compilation on Bandcamp, and every penny you pay will go to Mental Health America, an organization which does amazing work in our country. This is probably the hardest we've worked on anything since we first started The Up-Turn, so all we can ask is that you spread the good word and help us raise some money. THANK YOU AND SEE YOU TOMORROW!
