U.P.O.
U.P.O. was an American hard rock and post-grunge band formed in 1997 in Los
Angeles, California. The group's founding lineup consisted of lead vocalist
Shawn Albro, guitarist Chris Weber, bassist Ben Shirley, and drummer Tommy Holt.
Their early collaboration began after Albro and Weber met at the Reading
Festival in England, which led to the recruitment of Shirley and Holt and a
record contract with Epic Records. In 2000, they released their debut studio
album, No Pleasantries, produced by Rick Parashar. The single “Godless” reached
number 6 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart...
