Don't think this post-rock album's something of the revolutionary kind - more about some kids finally getting a record deal and proving what they had to prove (hence the title). Keeping it simple can be an art too: they're obviously refusing any type of electronics - the main focus is on guitars and surely I have also heard a violin on 2 or 3 songs. Still, the quality of the composition makes it entertaining enough to "win the battle". These boys deserve some attention - other than they had until now. Btw, full name is "Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start" :)
