Rochester, Minnesota's F-Ups consisted of vocalist/guitarist Travis Allen, guitarist Chris DeWerd, bassist Andy Collett, and drummer Taylor Nogo. Assembling in 1999 while still high schoolers, the quartet adopted a sound indebted both to veterans like Bad Religion and NOFX, as well the giant melodies of contemporary pop-punk. A few years of local gigs and showcases paid off for the F-Ups in 2003, when Capitol took them on. Their self-titled debut appeared in July 2004, supported by a round of Warped Tour dates. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
