Formed in Brisbane in the early 1980s, Ups and Downs quickly became known for their jangly guitars, melodic hooks, soaring harmonies and introspective lyrics, cementing their place in the hearts of indie music fans.
Ups and Downs gained attention with their breakout single “The Living Kind”, which became a staple of the Australian alternative music scene, topping the independent charts. Their EP “Sleepless” and album “Underneath the Watchful Eye” showcased the band’s ability to blend heartfelt songwriting with infectious guitars, drawing comparisons to the likes of R.E.M. and The Church.
The new vinyl compilation album Stained Glass Memories spans their entire career, and showcases how the band’s sound has evolved while still retaining the essential elements that made them stand out.
