HISTORY and MEMBERS
Upsize came to be in Late 2003 as the founding members of a 90's rock outfit wanted to first take Brisbane and then the world by storm with their audacious and electrifying music combined with unbridled raw energy.
Band members Matt Kurth (vocals), David O'Connor (guitar, backing vocals), Martin Duffy (guitar), Sean Metcalfe (bass, backing vocals), Rick Ashe (drums) form a dynamic team of musicians and active songwriters. Rick joined the team in late 2005 and since then Upsize has gone from strength to strength.
The blending of Matt's vocals with the riff work of David and Martin teamed with the driving engine room provided by Sean and Rick create a sound that smacks of energetic and provocative 70's style Guitar Rock.

LIVE EXPERIENCE
Both EPs have been launched with mind blowing performances and have been received well by the fans. The songs are a blend of in your face rock and anthem like choruses.
Upsize have performed at many of Brisbanes premier rock venues of late, headlining at clubs like The Living Room and The Zoo as well as many other venues around South East QLD on The Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as out west to Ipswich and Toowoomba.
The band has also supported high profile acts such as The Angels, The Radiators, Airborne, Meloddysey, Dead Letter Circus, The Presidents Bush, Mammal, Iron On and Transport.
REVIEWS
“The tightest live band I’ve seen in twenty years”.
(Geoff Turner - The Radiators, May 4 2007)
"The Basement Bar at Acacia Ridge Hotel played host to an awesome night where Upsize, The Radiators and The Angels played live and loud! Rock shall never die!
Brisbane rock band Upsize totally rocked the Basement Bar to over a crowd of a 1000.
They were the perfect band to get the crowd worked up in anticipation of The Radiators and The Angels performances.
Upsize's performance was outstanding, playing all the songs off their debut CD plus a few others which had the crowd jumping and yelling for more!
(Lifemusicmedia - fasterlouder.com.au, May 4 2007)
“Playing overtime on the M+M stereo this week is a track called Contagious which is just that, with loads of crunchy guitar, thumping drums and a powerhouse vocal performance”.
(Noel Mengel - The Courier Mail, Aug 17 2006)
“UPSIZE have created an EP of old-fashioned, dirty rock songs reminiscent of the glory days of Aussie rock’n’roll”.
(DCR - Time Off, Aug 2 2006)
"The mongrel-factor is upsized significantly as headliners UPSIZE unleash some ’70s-style rock.”
(Michaela McGuire - Time Off, June 2 2006 - The Living Room)
“UPSIZE, another Brissy based band, with their amalgamation of 70’s style Guitar Rock and Powderfinger-esque style, were in my opinion the best of the Fest.” (Amy Stannard - Q Mag, October 1 2005 - Get Set Fest)
Upsize are continuing to blast their way around the Brisbane rock scene and are on the climb to top of the rock music game.
