Their total contrast in vocals, musical taste and attitudes create a unique center to their music that crosses the boundaries of all musical genres; vacuum packing each song into a neat package of melodic rock delight. They use ‘everything we love about everything we listen to’ to create songs that are anything from true-to-life diary entries to fantastic cinematic stories to both entertain and reach out to people.

GUP often bends the barrier between medias, releasing with every completed audio work with an accompanying video. They started this journey with the filming of their first releases "My Yesterday" and "Shut" from their first EP (Against the Lights , 2011). While both songs vary greatly in musical style, they show the myriad of storytelling GUP has up its sleeve - from the serious nature of My Yesterday to the travelling shenanigans that is Shut's video - Melody Dante and Jesse Slingsby spare no expense of emotions when telling the story of their songs.

Their storytelling has just started as GUP has started the release of their mini-movie music video series aptly named 'Night Time Insanities' with the cow-bell loving song Southern Comfort as the starter. The series is the progressive release of their second album over a period 6 videos following the story of character Grace as she finds that her reality is broken.

GUP is dedicated to interacting with their audience and when creating their DIY style music videos, often shouts out to their Guppies to play a role and be on screen. In a bid to earn the love of new people - GUP posts covers to their Youtube channel often and uses their mailing list to make those who follow them all VIPs - often offering previews + music downloads. Fully fan-fueled + dedicated, Grace Under Pressure want to make their music a part of your life.
