This Way Up are a promising four-piece located on the Isle of Wight. The release of their debut record, entitled The Game EP, coupled with multiple appearances at Portsmouth Guildhall and Butserfest, has succeeded in establishing the band as one of the South Coast’s up-and-coming indie acts. The record utilises evocative politically and socially motivated lyrics alongside strong harmonies and powerful guitar countermelodies to create anthems which never fail to raise a live audience from their seats. Their latest repertoire promises an exciting fusion of musical styles comprising reinforcing reggae-like beats in addition to a more organic acoustic sound. A recent signing to Rogue Diamond Records, and the opportunity to merchandise their music globally on iTunes, has encouraged the band to broaden their horizons beyond the Island and dedicate their time to meticulously planning a UK Tour in April 2012. The boys are primarily intent on enjoying the music they love to write, record and perform with an aim of making an impact on the nation’s eclectic music scene.
