Last week we headed down to the Wheelbarrow to take a look at Camden’s latest local band, Up.
The group are shunning the current 90’s revival in preference for their own 80’s funk-pop signature sound – and from what we saw they gave a comfortable, supremely tight, carnival-like performance, showcasing a host of brilliantly textured tracks. Tight bass lines, a talented guitarist, a charismatic lead singer and a ready-made fan base all contributed to an accomplished and rather exciting show.
We’re yet to be 100% convinced that this style of sound is the way forward given current trends, but who knows? We’re told there are more demos and a potential release in the pipe-line for the new year, so watch this space, maybe they’re a band that’s on the ‘Up’ (boom boom)?
