Punk band Upsets formed in 1978 out of Ipswich QLD. The band released one single 'Back To Afghanistan' in 1980. 300 copies were pressed on the EMI custom label. The single came to the attention of Midnight Oil's management who were impressed by the political lyrical content. As a result the band moved to Sydney to work but things didn't work out as expected. By 1982 the band moved back to Brisbane. They disbanded not long after. The single was re-released in 2016 on the LMCR label.
