The F-Ups are an American / English punk rock band from Rochester, Minnesota Now coming from Harlow,  London

History
The group formed in 1999 while its members were still in high school. They came second in a high school competition, but took first place the next year. They began touring locally before signing with Capitol Records in 2003. Their debut album, which featured a cover of Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes", was released in July of the next year to mixed reviews.

The song "Lazy Generation" was included on the Burnout 3 soundtrack, but the line shit on a silver platter shine was changed to cars on a silver platter shine. The band drew lyrical influences from such experiences as laziness ("Lazy Generation", "I Don't Know"), rebellion against parents ("Look At Your Son Now", "Screw You") and even a Jerry Springer episode ("Crack Ho"). The group followed the album's release with appearances on the Warped Tour.

In late 2006, the group broke up, and Allen, DeWerd and Collett re-formed as Hang 'Em High (see below). Hang 'Em High disbanded in 2009 and Travis Allen decided to reform The F-Ups. DeWerd returned as rhythm guitarist, though Nogo and Collett had not returned and had been replaced by Nick Sacco on bass and Jamie Hand(formerly of Hang 'Em High) on drums. Recently, DeWerd was replaced with Paul Bulter. Their MySpace page became active once again, but there has not been an update since the 25th of September, 2009. The F ups have been back in Jamie hands house and started writing new stuff for a soon to be new cd
