February 2003. Bart, Ferry, Gert, Huybers and Rob agree: they will start a band
together. Uplifted. Despite each different musical preferences a combined goal is
set. Uplifted is going to make original, groovable music where all the individual
bandmembers can put their heart and soul into. The agression of hardcore-punk, the groove and melody of (nu-)metal and the profundity and emotion of rock are the main musical pillars of Uplifted.

About two months after the foundation of the band, the first gigs take place. Rens,
a befriended student audiotechnics, approaches Uplifted to come to the SAE studios in Rotterdam. Free of charge Uplifted can record their music on behalf of Rens's graduation project. 'This is a huge opportunity for the band, although it may be too early to jump into a studio. Furthermore, Rens nearly hasn't got any experience with recording music. Uplifted decides to go for it onehundred percent. So by the end of May 2003 the first five songs are recorded. The EP 'Fed from the heart' is a fact.

Prior to the release of 'Fed form the heart' lies a time-span of seven months. During
this period Uplifted has frequently performed on stage in several venues and youth
centres. With its energetic act the band acquires a decent live reputation.
As from the end of 2003 the decision is made to stop planning shows for the time being. New and better material is going to be made. Again, higher goals are set. The new songs are more mature, divers and qualitatively better. Uplifted is ready to step forward in 2004 to show the progression on stage.
