The Upwelling is a band with roots in the New York, Washington, D.C., and Boston areas that currently resides in Queens. The band was founded and originally consisted of brother Ari and Josh Ingber on guitar and drums respectively. Their self-recorded, self-titled EP achieved the rare feat of finding distribution without being released by a label, partly due to its "Recommended" status by the Virgin Megastore -- the first time the retail chain awarded such an honor to an unsigned band or an EP.cite web|url=http://www.looserecord.com/Feature/Feature_Main.php?docid=43|accessdate=April 2|accessyear=2007|publisher=Loose record|title=The Upwelling: As Nature Intended|author=Wheeler, Ian] The EP included Scott Morley on keyboards, who spent 2005 in the band.

In 2006 Scott Morley left the group and was replaced by Massachusettes' native, Conor Heffernan. During that year, they were also able to advance to the final rounds of Spin Magazine’s Band of the Year competition. The band has appeared at the CMJ Music Marathon and SXSW music festivals and in 2007 embarked on a tour with Third Eye Blind and The All American Rejects. Other players, Lee Moretti (guitar) and Jim Kost (keyboards) had brief stints in the band.

In September 2007 the band was signed to Edmund Records (a imprint in partnership with Dog House Records and Warner Bros.). The Upwelling's debut CD will be available sometime in 2008.
