The group formed in 1999 while its members were still in high school. Originally the band was named Mr. Completely, and just prior to signing with Capitol Records in 2003 changed the name to “The F-Ups.” They came second in a high school competition, but took first place the next year. They began touring locally before signing with Capitol Records in 2003. Their debut album, which featured a cover of Mott the Hoople ‘s ” All the Young Dudes “, was released in July of the next year to mixed reviews.
