Mike Harris - Guitars and Vox , Scott Curtis-Drums and Vox , Clark Souter-Bass and Vox
Influences
We are living in a time where classic records are, for the most part, a thing of the past. In a generation where the bands are quick fix's with inconsistent, and unmemorable songs. These 2 records by THE UP are no bullshit rock as the last of a dying breed, without one filler song, or insincere melody, riff, or lyric. Every thing came naturally, straight from the heart.
Self produced and mixed immaculately by THE UP. In 2008 the new dimension rock of THE UP will appear on their new record.
out here in the streets i still challange the Enemys of imagination and there mental warfare tactics aganst me to try and make me bealeve that my large imagination is just a lie! well,sad for them i only really bealeve me myself and i, and my maker ,see there is nothing i can't imagin to come true 'shit it took me 20 years of hard thought to imagin dave back in to vanhalen, there's alote of 9good) scary sh#t i got for the future it just takes time, unfortunatly i have plenty of it .

computers are in some ways, the worst thing to happen to us as peaple. it puts every thing we think in danger of bieng revealed to soon by the 24 hour privlige we are granted ,to send unretrevable thoughts and random late night angry impulse reactions that would in the past have to wait until the next day to leave a phone message"in other words i think it is a smart to sleep on a mesage before setting it free" that has been takin away from us now. And also as well as the mystery of going to store and bying a new cd " and not to preview it before hand ; Hell; by the time im done typing all this s**t ill be to cumputer drunk to work on my new songs! MH -the up as it is.
ONE of my favorite jokes ,is when i here some soft core rap artist or weak top 40 hip hop girls or non musisian celeb's refer to them selfs as ROCK STARS" Don't you have to play Rock music to be a ROCK star!!!!! sorry guys' i ain't gonna let ya'll get away with that one" MH -RS.
just saw the AVRIL video ,hey avril ,i think ya goda play guitar really good ,or at all,to be cool enough to smash one". and it usally sounds crazy being smashed on..uhh like the stage, pluged in, Ya might wann'a try a baseball bat for those car windshield paybacks. let the guitar die in style, smash it when it's PLAYING, so the crowd can hear it die.. and shoot your video writer! this is music, not a thousand pose comercial for clothes!.....s**t ihope i spelled avril right.
by the way if your to uptight to fill in a few wrong letters ,than stop reading my gift to mankind comments, or pay my ren't once a month and i will make spelling check my job. MH. f**ck off"

The world has changed , the out standing are all gone, and i am left here on my mother earth,with the weak, the dumb and the boring ,a real flippin grave yard is say. as i watch the young depribed and dequalized by the Heartless , the unloyal, the addicted & selfesh sad version of the supper action Hero player's that use to rule the never world's, the underground, and yes half the supper action hero player's were girls.....does any one out there have enough drive or self pride to rise back up to that level of badass cool, or are you ok with your grandchildren to embarresed to look at or talk about your boring yesterlife as a fake back stabb'n selfesh uggly wannabe mudd stick . No they wont! we'll i wont have to worry bout that ...do you! wobo we wa!!! god bless the best, and f***the rest....
