Fronted by brothers Nick and Alan Reitman on vocals, guitar, and bass with TJ Mulawka on drums, One Up pulls from musical influences like blink-182 and Neck Deep to create their upbeat, playful sound. The band’s humorous lyrics calling out ‘millennial culture’ are playing a part in bringing fun, pop-punk music back to the Metro-Detroit area.
On the track, Alan Reitman, shares: “’Laid and Paid’ is a funny way of saying ‘I can’t stand you. But after a couple beers, expect a phone call.’” Meanwhile the video is a hysterical parody of the stereotypical country music video, complete with cowboy boots, pick-up trucks, tire swings.
