The Long Beach, CA-based band BlowUpBlow was formed in 2003.

They were cited in the OC Weekly as one of the 10 best bands to watch out for in 2004.

"The rhythm alone could get you to drool--you'll lose yourself in the musical candyland that these dudes create. Everything done perfect."
- LA Record

"An all-star Long Beach lineup playing at peak potential, BlowUpBlow...tap out immaculately calculated post-punk that peels Krautrock hum into a Burma/Ubu ramjet...they don't push out a sound so much as an atmosphere, a jittery, thick-as-cough-syrup prog-jam-fogbank as hypnotic and urgent as the blip on a heart monitor."
- OC Weekly

"It's weird: the guitars drop into the songs from outer space, tumbling from effects-pedal overdressing (close your eyes and stand by a speaker, and you'd think they had a keyboard in there) to naked one-string bellringing, and it all sort of hovers over the rhythm section, a pushy everything-at-once sound that gets your attention quick."
- Chris Ziegler, OC Weekly
