   About Upcdownc


Upcdownc ... are an instrumental Rock, Delay, Riff, Kick and Moog 4-piece from Medway, Kent who also indulge in a bit of singing and screeeeaaaming.

Our debut album "And the battle is won" was released on October 24th, 2005, to rave reviews by the music press (see below), and in 2006, we recorded our first Maida Vale Radio One session, which also included songs from the then unreleased second Album "embers".

"embers" finally saw the light of day in 2008 and was released both in Europe and Japan. These two albums have now been discontinued in the UK so go to Japan.

We have since recorded our new (not so) long player "Firewolf" which we recently finished mastering at Abbey Road studios, London. This album explores a new territory for us and moves away from the old post rock blue print, but still kicks the shit out of most candy-assed shoe-gazers whilst remaining pretty for girls and angry for boys and vice versa.

We are currently finishing off the artwork and shopping for labels. The wolf will be released.

We like Nirvana, Twin Peaks, Flight of the Conchords, Breath Mints, Six Feet Under, Heroes, Patrick Suskind, Resident Evil, MSTRKRFT, Alcohol, 56 gauge, Meat and Quorn, Wolves, Crap Comedy, Soccer, Scars, Scabs, IKEA, Mastodon, Humbuckers, Gears of War 2, Zombies and the 80's. Bow, bow, chigga chig owwwwwwww.

'Embers', the follow up to the band's 2005 debut 'And The Battle Is Won' cements their place as one of the leading exponents of underground rock music in the UK – Rocksound “embers” album review. 8/10.

An ever-present warmth prevents Upcdownc from appearing too clinical and emotionally disengaged, while the quality of their tunes dismisses any worries about genre overkill – Kerrang!! “embers” album review. KKKK.

"It's the collision of two worlds, this is a rock that requires a wider audience, today." Drowned in Sound

"Brutal and loud, yet melodic and almost orchestral" The Fly

"Sounds like your dads prog-rock records forced through a hydra head branded mincer, fed to bearded Mogwai fans and regurgitated into a hardcore kid's cap. Sick, yes, but satisfying" Rock Sound

"By the time it's finished with you, you've been assaulted by dense, heavy feedback, angry, growling guitars and enough post-rock to knock out a smack head. Great" Dj mag

"With riffs as big as fillet steaks and pastoral passages straight outta Middlemarch, And the battle is won is a symphonic sprawl of bucolic tinkering and prolonged colossal feedback that has me reaching for my mathematical dictionary to make sense of it all" Plan B

Feedback guitar freakouts and extended Can-esque krautrock instrumentals. Magnificent stuff!!! piccadilly records

"Rarely has the skin been freckled by such tingling static and the soul shaken by continental plate shifting switches in volume Rock Sound live review

"The sound created by this band challenges the hard-rock mentality of Pelican while remaining soft enough to dance with Mono without breaking any toes" decoy music

Kerrang! album review - 4 KKKK out of 5!
Once the last outpost of pedal junkies, post-rock has now grown and expanded into a diverse and healthy genre, with a lack of vocals and grandiose ambitions as the only real unifying factors. Leading the new vanguard are Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start - it's the cheat instruction for 'Sonic the Hedgehog' - whose debut is a lesson in musical architecture. Segueing some stirring classical into layer upon layer of guitars that crash like the falling pillars of Pompeii, 'Not Of The Fallen' is indicative of Up-C's deft way with creating high drama with guitars in new ways. Their future looks bright. Kerrang

UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
