Mortal Sin

Mortal Sin is a thrash metal band that formed in 1985. The group formed around singer Mat Maurer and drummer Wayne Campbell in Sydney, Australia. At first Campbell had attempted to get Maurer into another band called Wizzard but the rest of that band was reluctant to support the idea so the pair struck out on their own, quickly recruiting Wizzard's guitar Keith Krstin, bass player Andy Eftichiou from a band called Judge and a second guitarist Neville Reynolds. Reynolds was fired for not being available to play at the band's very first show and was replaced by Paul Carwana.

UP

There are two known artists named UP. 1. UP (In Hangul - 유피)(Reads as U.P.) South Korean Pop group that emerged during mid 1900's. They were famous for their hit song Puyo Puyo (뿌요뿌요) 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.
