The drums take charge with a rhythm that’s tight and dynamic, offering just the right amount of swing to drive the track forward.
Guitar accents flicker in and out, adding texture without overcrowding the space. But it’s the vocal delivery that grabs the spotlight—confident, clear, and expressive without ever feeling forced.
There’s a well-managed tension throughout the track, built on a careful balance of quiet verses and expansive choruses. When the refrain hits, it opens up like a burst of air, only to retreat again into the sparse, rhythmic pulse of the second verse. It’s this ebb and flow that keeps the listener leaning in.
The inclusion of retro-style keys introduces a nod to ’80s rock, without slipping into pastiche. These subtle elements give the song a nostalgic shimmer, even as the production keeps everything crisp and current. The guitar solo, drenched in reverb, acts as a momentary escape—it stretches out just long enough to add emotional lift without derailing the momentum.
What stands out most is how unified the band sounds. There’s a clear sense of direction here, a focused approach that allows each section of the song to breathe and build naturally. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. The Pulltops know how to make a track feel full and satisfying.

Assertive!
You Tripped Me Up dives headfirst into the fallout of broken trust. It’s a cathartic anthem for anyone who’s stumbled, stood back up, and decided they’re done looking back.
The Pulltops are a Milwaukee based duo delivering a hooky mix of Indie Rock, Power Pop, and Album Rock.
Drummer Mark Pierret and guitarist Tom Crowell were both eclectic record collectors, so they immediately clicked when they joined their first band together. While Mark always leaned heavier on old country and soul music, Tom drew stronger influences from the experimental and underground scene.
Despite these differences, the two always found common ground with pop music and strong hooks, and this would be at the heart of their writing. Though they never strayed too far from the classic pop and indie rock formula, they would often incorporate elements from their eclectic influences.
