“Red Jumpsuit Apparatus”. There. Now that we’ve cleared up what the REAL worst band name ever is, let’s talk about New Jersey’s Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start (or UUDD)’s latest album. Like the rest of their catalogue, this was entirely self-produced in singer/songwriter Steve Poponi’s own Gradwell House Studios. Here’s what you can expect when you pop this CD in your stereo: unfamiliar chords, time signatures that don’t seem weird until you try to count along and confident vocals… even if the lyrics aren’t so confident. I think the best way to describe this album is “straightforward”. The music is very stripped down and right to the point, with nothing there that doesn’t need to be. Highly recommended for fans of Pedro the Lion and Minus the Bear. Don’t let the name fool you, UUDD doesn’t play around.  Download a few songs off of the new album (plus four of the older EP’s) by visiting: www.upupdowndownloads.com. - Travis Duennes
