Contents Under Pressure are the power of pure entertainment. With two guitars, a tight rhythm section and an infectious stage presence, CUP delivers a live show that seizes your feet and sets them tapping. In the eight years since they formed in the south suburbs of Chicago, CUP have four full-length recordings and a multimedia blitz of music videos, podcasts, and radio appearances. In 2003, CUP took home a perfect score from the three professional judges at Q-101's battle of the bands. This road-tested crew has also rocked audiences across the city, including three successful tours of the Midwest.

With influences ranging from Dream Theater to Bad Religion, Contents Under Pressure has a collection of covers and original songs that never fails to entertain. In 80's rock homages like "Deep in Love part 1" or "My Baby", you'll find an updated sound from an era that many hold dear, while instant pop classics like "Don't Ask Me Why" and "I Need Me" deliver explosive amounts of melodic charm.
