Upperdeck started back in December of 07'.
Hometown: Indian Head, Maryland
The up-and-coming Christian Melodic Metalcore band Upperdeck was started as a pop-punk band by
Mike “Paco” Gottselig, former drummer of such bands as “Even Steven, and “Shattered Reality”. He one
day asked Wesley if he and his sister, Nikki, wanted to be in a band with him and his wife Jenn. Wesley
agreed, as did Nikki, and the first practice went amazing. Devin was added the week later, and they went
through some bass players before finally completing it with Cameron. With influences like Flyleaf,
Metallica, The Devil Wears Prada and Evanescence they quickly realized pop-punk just wasn't their thing,
they decided to “metal it up” a little. With Dueling guitar riffs, Lightning fast double kick, intricate bass
lines, and to top it all off insanely awesome chic singer and a classically trained piano player converted to
keyboards laying down the backbone of Upperdeck's sound. Upperdeck has often been described as a
“Modern Iron Maiden”. So listen, enjoy, and come out to a show sometime and say “Wazzupp!”
