“If you haven’t heard of The Upsiders, then why the hell not?!” - Neil Wilkes, 96.2 Touch FM

The Upsiders are ‘fun’ personified. All having met at university, The Upsiders are friends who just want to invite you along to their party. Never boxed in by their musical style or genre, their versatility knows no bounds, with songs in the style of funk, disco, pop and from all corners of the universe.

A fun, unique band playing happy music
