This Side Up started as a vinyl night in Sligo back sometime around 2008. Turntables, pints and ceiling slapping good craic centred in McGarrigles pub. In a place brimming with music and a colourful turn of phrase, hip hop came naturally. Within no time a live rap cypher grew into an original set. Shortly after that again This Side Up were spinning around the country in a transit.

Following the success of their ‘3075’ ep last year TSU abandoned everything to work on more tunes. Full Fat is the album name and the style. Gallons of rap packed full of substance, from late night bangers to more sparse and vulnerable songs.

Full Fat is out November 14. The title-track video will be released on November 1. See the group's Facebook page for more details: https://www.facebook.com/thissideuphiphop/
