Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - Self Titled - LP | STORM057

The final chapter in completing the Up Up Down Down vinyl discography.

This record contains the most inspirational songs I have ever heard. No contest.

Many fans of the band know the more widely released and available Worst Band Name Ever or And Nothing Is #1  (which we also released in years past!) but before those releases were pushed through the Revelation Records distro and appeared on CDs in local record stores, UUDD was recording and producing self released CDR EPs and touring relentlessly throughout the northeast.

I'm talking 1999 - 2000. A band infinitely ahead of their time. 

UUDD can be broken into three distinct era's and this one is the first, with Steve Poponi on bass, Jeff Mott on guitar and Scott Rumble on drums. This all before Jeff left the band and Steve switched to guitar.

This LP covers that original lineup and it's transition into the And Nothing Is #1 era. For those of us based in the Southern NJ / Philadelphia area, and know a thing or two about the bands origins, THIS was the ultimate era of the band. 

The songs are not available for download. They aren't on streaming services. They were nearly lost to time. You're going to have to trust me. The Philadelphia indie/emo you know and love from 2006-2016... This is the prototype.

These songs are on another level. And hardly anyone has heard them until now.
