[1986]
This one has aged like fine wine. At the time Ups & Downs couldn't avoid being compared to The Church with this jangling Rickenbacker monster and Ploog-y drummage. Vocally though they were different and this melodically rich power pop with blood harmonies from the Atkinson brothers is incredibly crafty and catchy. These guys could have been songwriting hitmakers for commercial Aussie pop stars I reckon but they chose to be less mainstream by residing in a jangly guitar group.
Stone cold classic.
