The lads in The Upper Room have taken their sweet time getting around to recording and releasing their debut album, Other People’s Problems, which is being released in the UK on May 29th.
To put that statement in better perspective, their first single, “All Over This Town,” emerged way back in the summer of 2004…so it’s taken two years to get from there to here. In that time, however, the band has built a solid fanbase, as well as a strong reputation amongst their peers and with the British press. Once you’ve read that New Musical Express describes The Upper Room’s material as “the kind of soaring, anthemic, quintessentially English pop music that sends us weak at the knees,” well, that ought to be enough praise to send you running to the band’s MySpace page to hear a few tracks.
If this gets released in the States, count on these guys to get the same kind of buzz that Keane did.
