Upcdownc, formerly known Upcdowncleftcrightcabc+start is a mainly Instrumental rock/pop 4 piece from Kent.
Their debut album And the battle is won was released in 2005.
In 2006 the band recorded their first Radio One live session at Maida Vale studios which was broadcast on the Huw Stephens show on March 7th. The band spent most of 2006 recording/writing their second album Embers and also had their first U.K tour promoting And the battle is won.
Embers was released on October 6th 2008.
Their live sound has been described as "Brutal and loud, yet melodic and almost orchestral" Upcdownc's sonic explosion feels massive in any venue.

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. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
