Ups And Downs

About the artist

Brisbane band Ups and Downs played a brand of ethereal, well-crafted, jangly guitar pop that called to mind Australian post-punk icons The Church. The bands influences also extended to overseas groups like Cocteau Twins, REM, and The Flamin' Groovies. Indeed, the name Ups and Downs was derived from a track on the Flamin' Groovies 1978 album, Now. Brothers Greg and Darren Atkinson got their start in late 1970s power pop band 42nd Street. Ken Allen (guitar) and Neil Coombe (guitar) completed the line-up.
