Recovering from '80s {punk} wave in Finland, there spawned two very complex but innovative {
ock} groups, Cmx and Yup. Although Yup was founded in the late '80s, a later version of Yup dates to the early '90s. This young but creative trio (consisting of vocalist/guitarist Jarkko Martikainen, bassist Valtteri Tynkkynen, and drummer Jussi Hyyrynen) formed Yup against their art school's {jazz} bands. Very soon they created their own {progressive} style to combine all forms of {
ock} and later Yup's first independent LP in Finnish, Huuda Harkiten, with their new keyboard player Tommi Kärkkäinen, was released creating both interest and hatred among the tight Finnish {
ock} subculture.
On 1993's Toppatakkeja Ja Toledon Terästä, Yup's {punk rock} was still quite {progressive}, though the complete sound wasn't so rough anymore. The band's new lineup with drummer Janne Mannonen and guitarist Jussi Hyyrynen (who had formerly played drums) raised Yup's playing to a whole new level and its old jamming sound was disappearing. Also, the band's small success on the Finnish charts showed that it was time to move on to a bigger recording label.
