I must admit, their name did intimdate me because of how long it was, but atleast for short they still settle with UpCDownC. I just hope they get more nods to their music, they're incredible.
@mousenatorx Actually, it says on their website that they've been around since 2001. UUDD released their first CD in 2000. Pretty sure that's before 2001, last time I checked.
i remember seing these guys back when they were called Autopilot and i thought they were a bit crap and trying too hard to be weird. They've definately improved since then. Seven or so years does teach you a lot of things. i was only into rap-metal and pop-punk back then so i guess we all change and progress a bit. their name reminds me of entering cheats on an N64 pad except n64 pads don't have a c button so it also makes me think of sega meagadrive controllers. happy Oasthouse gig memories.
@HondaDoraeMon contact them through their website. Google search 'upcdownc', click the top option and that's their website. It has the contact details on there.
of course i'm aware the n64 pad has 4 c buttons, but it doesn't have an actual button called c. it instead has up c, down c, left c and right c. where as a megadrive pad just has one c button. hence the start of the name reminds me of an n64 pad, but the end makes me think of a megadrive pad because of the ABC buttons.
ok, but this song in particular is pretty explosionsy isn't it? It's true that people just reach for that name (they do it with my band all the time, and it's dead frustrating) but in this instance I think it's pretty bang on.
