It's not often you come across one of "those bands". You know the band I'm talking about... The band of socially awkward wallflowers that hasn't quite figured out how to be "cool" while standing behind their merch table before their set. The shy stutter when you walk up and ask about their CD or how much a t-shirt costs... They throw their gear up on stage right before their set while everyone thinks they are just the hired help for the next band. Then all of sudden they're throwing on guitars and checking mics... "hmm, this should be interesting" you think. But out of nowhere they surprise the shit out of you with dynamics that creep from almost a whisper to a refreshing blast of melodies and driving indie rock.

This was The Let Up's roots. From their quiet beginnings as a young band from the Inland Northwest to becoming a fully DIY touring band, The Let Up has surprised crowds all over the West Coast. They've played stages small and enormous. From dark and dingy dive bars to The Land Rover stage on 4th of July in Vegas. They’ve been direct support for bands like Train, The Spill Canvas, Everclear, and Lydia and shared stages with countless others all across the West Coast. Cutting their teeth as a a 100% do it yourself band with no label support, The Let Up booked their own tours and traveled relentlessly after recording their debut album “Illustrate My Character”. Currently in the studio working on their soon to be released new EP 'The Departure' The Let Up has some big plans for 2014.
