Today we’d like to introduce you to Upper Level Lows. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Upper Level Lows brings the energy with hard-hitting rock riffs, funky bass lines and insightful, catchy lyrical melodies.
Longtime friends and collaborators were all introduced to music in their early years. The songwriting of Zac Dahmann is complimented excellently by the powerhouse rhythm section of Jesse Sanchez on bass and Coleman Meola on drums. Jerome Vivino adds the psychedelic atmosphere with his effectual guitar playing and gripping solos. Zach was born and raised in California and made his way to Austin at a young age. Jesse and Coleman are both Austin natives, and Jerome is from Philadelphia and moved to Austin six years ago.
The band officially formed in 2019. Upper Level Lows then released their first EP in September 2021 entitled, ‘The Void’, which chronicles through the pain of loss, cascading fear and uplifting self-assurance. This dynamic and diverse sound is something very unique, emotional and full of energy, all in one. They haven’t stopped creating and playing music ever since!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Since the band started right before the pandemic, we’ve had many challenges. Weren’t able to practice as much as we needed. Also, not being able to see live music really hindered our motivation and seeking influence of others. Taking too much time in between practices and writing new music was one of the biggest obstacles.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?

We all put in work, practice hard and come out with something new to share to our fans, friends and family.
