REVIEWS

“The tightest live band I’ve seen in twenty years”.
(Geoff Turner - The Radiators)

"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!

“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)

“UPSIZE have created an EP of old-fashioned, dirty rock songs reminiscent of the glory days of Aussie rock’n’roll”. (DCR - Time Off)

"The mongrel-factor is upsized significantly as headliners UPSIZE unleash some ’70s-style rock.” (Michaela McGuire - Time Off, Live review from 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, Live review from Get Set Fest)
