Seatavern

The Unpopular Department (UPD) is a metal band from Cape Town. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Moby, guitarist Cloud, bassist BJ and drummer Thomas, their influences from bands like Bullet for My Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against and Trivium result in the band boasting a unique and varied sound that swings between metalcore and punk rock. Their shows are often a mix of their own unique metalcore/punk originals as well as mostly 2000s-era covers which pay homage to the bands that have influenced their sound and reflect the band’s love not only for their own music, but the music that came before them.
