UP

There are two known artists named UP. 1. UP (In Hangul - ìœ í”¼)(Reads as U.P.) South Korean Pop group that emerged during mid 1900's. They were famous for their hit song Puyo Puyo (ë¿Œìš”ë¿Œìš”) which is included in their 2nd album. Currently they are disbanded and doing individual music work. 2. UP's music is based on the best stuff from old funk and rock projects, cleaned up and supercharged with johno's 2007 tastes and sensibilities. The lyrics are all about personal experiences, if a bit tongue in cheek at times. Recently we've been getting more and more into vocal harmonisation.
