Collar Up's piano-based songs are often dramatic, sometimes melancholy, sometimes fun, sometimes hard-hitting, but always thoughtful and interesting. Collar Up's songs consist of thought-provoking lyrics and compelling melodies ("I wasn't expecting that but it still sounded right..."). If you want to see a band that really believe that what they are doing is right, really believe that they cannot be ignored, and are truly enjoying themselves, then join the (as yet) small hardcore and come and see Collar Up. Old school.
