U.P.O. - Free

[BuildingLeanMass]

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that Zoltan from 5FDP jamming on the bass?!

[ChaosPointDK]

Jump over 'em

Jump over 'n roll

Jump over 'em

Jump over 'n roll

Fuck yeah XD

[ChaosPointDK]

Aah, just heard this stuff on the radio (this song specifically), and god if its love at first eyesight. Even tho i mostly listen to all that cybergoth stuff (theyre all the same) and industrial such as Rammstein, i still consider the bands that are unique to be the best ones, such as, inddeed, U.P.O.

[littleOMNIPOTENTone]

It is rare when you actually find a band with a sound all their own. I think U.P.O. is one of those rare ones.

[cindiplace]

Shawn, where are you?  This is Cindi from "Backstage Pass"!! Trying to reconnect! By the way, love this middle-eastern sound on "FREE"!! This stuff rocks!! I'm back in FL. Reach me at Cindip@cfl.rr.com.

Miss ya!

Love,

Cindi

[Token528]

cant believe you mention APC and Tool as if they are completely different bands... APC has the same lead singer for tool ... james maynard keenan... APC was just a project for him with different band mates... so yeah its gonna sound like tool

[ANGELSVEN]

Too bad this band will never be able to get back together again.

[TheNightingaleAngel]

DAM GREAT SONG!!! THESE GUYS WOULD RULE MAYHEM! FESTIVAL!!!!!!

[AegisJones54]

[ltllow1]

[indy8six]

[torx82]

[adrianrosa110]

ZOLTAN BATHORY IS FUCKIN AMAZING!! 5FDP!!!!! \m/

[pipEdreaM86]

Where have they run off to???

[TheNightingaleAngel]

WoW Love these guys!!!!

[8osiris]

When I was a boy of 11, back in 1986, during the time of the movie Space Camp. I has a dream. In that dream they were interviewing the main character of the movie. At the bottom of the screen the name given was Shawn Albro. In the interview he mentioned that he was starting a band named UPO. And 14 years later he did. It wasn't until that time that I realized that the lead character in the movie was really named Lucas Haas. I asked my mother in the same dream if he was Horus! She laughd and said

[DRAGONSTAR1472]

They were under rated,the radio station here in Chattanooga,tn only played one of their songs(GODLESS)for three months tops!!!!They were AWESOME and should have gone way farther!!I really miss these guys,I had the pleasure of meeting them and getting autographs;they were super cool!!!!!!!SHAWN ALBRO especially!

[DRAGONSTAR1472]

[scarecrowdire]

yeah and saw some cool live footage here as well UPO LIVE search

[poetrywithedge]

Something about this song calls up the inner ghost to dance...uninhibited freedom....a feeling of control destroyed...its a feeling only found in my head! The video is so lively with fire...the scenery is perfectly fit for this video! Great job :) Thanks for sharing the video...

[SilverAsrSoul]

I love this song ;) and vocalist voice, extraordinary! :)

[Shepard1100]

Wow didn't know they had another album. Kick ass. Got the first one myself.

[TheNightingaleAngel]

yeah the song godless went to #5 on Billboard not bad!

[TheNightingaleAngel]

Google UPO LIVE or here on You tube UPO LIVE

[TheNightingaleAngel]

Found a bunch of cool rare UPO vids just look up UPO LIVE

[glenn251066]

one of the best band i ever hear in the last time ....i love this song

[scarecrowdire]

Check out New rare footage of UPO!!!

[THEinsideOFaMOOSE]

ssssuchh a sickkk son

[SynysterVengeance8]

Zoltan is the man

[streetracerTA]

zoltan bathory is one of the guitar players and he is in five finger death punch now, and I mean I have 1 UPO cd, and love "godless" but FFDP is the sh*t!... oh and 3 of them are my uncle.. so it all good.. lol

[greenmanmercenary]

These guys have been so overlooked as to be fucking criminal. To this day, one of the best bands I've ever heard. I think Shawn's vocals shine the most though in "Shut Up".

09albroj, next time you talk to you're uncle, tell him he has a fan forever in Ohio. Cheers.

[gothos1000]

This song reminds me of 'Feel Alive' Been trying to find that one on Youtube..can't seem to.

[hotmoni]

@gothos1000 You can find "feel Alive" on google or My Space. This is my fav UPO song

[MrCourtneydanielle]

Reminds me a lot of soulfly, be better if Zoltan had of done vocals but its pretty good listening ^.^

[tampoonx2]

Ask your uncle to give me vocal lessons please!!!!!!!!!

[09albroj]

hey anyine want info on the band hit me up..my uncle is the lead singer...shawn albro...they are planing on making a new album hopefullly soon

[Jasonisawesome3]

Really.. i wanna meet him. i loved this song. when i was iun middleschool

[therevshaneieshane]

I heard the one of the guitarists ended up with some sort of cancer, brain cancer I think. I hope he pulled through if that's true.

[guitarfan00000000]

yeah, Chris Weber, had a brain tumor. hes doin just fine and dandy today.

[alldressed2455]

can someone send em a download to this song?

[usgamersonline]

what ever happened to them they are good. the newer rock does not have the same backbone as the rock from the late 90's.

[cheroshawnee]

Great song love the mixture they put it all together so perfectly it's immaculate

[nussiasinua]

Youre welcome PrincessMopar, And well,

seven, i would like to see them come back too!!! ^_^ i just loved the way they put so much into the lyrics and then how he would sing when he was doing those arabic sounding screams... ahh <3!! hopefully they do come back. im crossing my fingers and saving up for the concert if they have one!

[PrincessMopar]

nussiasinua,

Thanks for the info!

[PrincessMopar]

UPO is an awesome band and I love this song! Does anyone have a clue as to who the lead singer is??

[nussiasinua]

Shawn Albro is the singer <3

[seven32375]

sweet! somebody with some info! i'd heard recently that the band broke up b/c he'd had a stroke, or something to that effect. know if there's any facts to that?

[nussiasinua]

well i dont know about shawn having a stroke, but i know that chris needed brain surgery and that the phillipe is playing with some band named Hydrovibe . Since '06 they took a "break" and i didnt hear much from them since then.... infact, i was surpriced to see this video... since 200 i didnt hear much from them, then THE HEAVY came out in '04 and i didnt hear much about it untill recently with this song.. haha i hadnt heard about the cd being promoted so i started doing some reasearch. =)

[seven32375]

it'd be nice to see them return in full force. i'd never even heard of these guys till about a couple of years ago! feel like i've been missing out!

[FATTYWHITE08]

My uncle is Logan one of the guitarist's!

[nussiasinua]

No way!!! Ask if they're planning to get back together!!! or if i can have his autograph at least?? :D hahaha

[seven32375]

that'd be TOO cool if they did get up and going again! i'm going into withdrawal as we speak!

[seven32375]

seriously? is he still playin for anyone?

[jheetman]

upo is awesome, they were so underrated, i wish they would have made it bigger than they did, they are alot better than most of the crap i hear on the radio today

[eskarinaaissa]

killer song indeed! what instrument is that in the end? looks like an Australian didgeridoo but I doubt it is that

[seven32375]

it is, indeed! you're right on the money, my friend. :)

[therevshaneieshane]

That's a didgeridoo, this song made me want to get one myself!

[alldressed2455]

can you send me the link to download this song?

[hillbillyvol]

Where is Feel Alive? A banger for hillbillies.

[DrowningYourMother]

I always wondered what U.P.O. stood for.... Anybody want to answer one of my eight wonders of the world?

[seven32375]

not a clue, my friend. i've been wondering the same thing for a while now.

[MattL883]

Universal Pockets of Oogles.

[dustoffx]

it doesn't stand for anything

[painredifined01]

I think he's trying too hard to sound like  J. Davis. Zoltan is so much better with 5FDP. Like the song though.

[doubledrive78]

call me a dumbass...but i've never found out what their name stands for... u.p.o.....anyone know?

[finky112]

Ugly People's Organization. Don't flame me, I had a lengthy conversation with the band after a show, that truly is what it stands for.

[S8clothing]

GREAT JOB! surf805.AKA, S8

[pyrocloud7]

Both vocals and musical style remind me of "Another Black Day," coolness.

[15975322]

l33t

[desoshade]

Chris, the guitarist, actually helped write many of the songs on guns n roses appetite album

[seven32375]

little piece of info i wasn't aware of. thanks!

[Nymphis333]

sounds so much like a fucking perfect circle

[nillax]

Technically you should be saying a perfect circle sounds like them, because U.P.O. was out before A Perfect Circle was in 1999

[fenra13]

What a Tool.

[seven32375]

eh?

[THEARTOFRIFLERY]

@nillax

I'd have to say that both U.P.O. and APC sound a bit like Tool - They kinda beat them both to the punch.
