City Side Up is an up-and-coming pop/rock trio from Staten Island made up of Steve Olsen, Andrew"Drew" Orlandi, & Andrew Messina. For five straight years, Andrew and Steve practiced their chops out of a basement. During this time they searched for a bass player which allowed them to meet and jam with many local musicians.
