The band was popular since the very beginning, as vocalist Koumoto Hiroto and guitarist Mashima Masatoshi were both central members in THE BLUE HEARTS, which had recently broken up. Keyboardist Shirai Mikio was also related to THE BLUE HEARTS, for which he had been a support member. Musically, ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ carried on the upbeat punk rock-style from the founding members' previous band, but has also been described as emotional, crazier and heavier.

Members:

Koumoto Hiroto (甲本ヒロト) – Vocal
Mashima Masatoshi (真島昌利) – Guitar
Shirabe Sakito (調先人) – Bass
Oshima Kenji (大島賢治) – Drums
Shirai Mikio (白井幹夫) – Keyboard

This lineup remained intact until 2003, when keyboardist Shirai Mikio left the band. The following year ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ cut their ties to Universal Music, and Koumoto and Mashima formed HAPPYSONG RECORDS, their very own record label with ties to BMG Japan, which has since distributed their releases. After announcing their disbandment in late 2005, Koumoto and Mashima decided to form another punk rock band together, and ended up naming it ザ・クロマニヨンズ (The Cro-Magnons).

パンチョリーナ
↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ Lyrics

ゴーパンチョリーナ
ゴーパンチョリーナ
ゴーパンチョリーナゴー

生きたいように生きるんだ
なりたいもんになれるんだ
マディ・ウォーターズ
ハウリン・ウルフ
サニーポーイライトニン
イカしたニックネーム

古い単車のエンブレム
ロマンチックでキラッとキザで
ニックネームでイメージアップだ
あれこれ迷うぼくを
誰かが呼んだ

おーいパンチョリーナ
ヒマそうじゃないか
おーいパンチョリーナ
昼メシまだか
おーいパンチョリーナ
はずれてばっか
おーいパンチョリーナ
あの天気予報

ゴーパンチョリーナ
ゴーパンチョリーナ
ゴーパンチョリーナゴー

不覚にもぼくは振り向いていた
一人で歩き出すまでは
友達が出来るまでは
ほとんどの名前はオヤジが決める
ニックネームは他人が決める

おーいパンチョリーナ
ヒマそうじゃないか
おーいパンチョリーナ
昼メシまだか
おーいパンチョリーナ
いけそうじゃないか
おーいパンチョリーナ
今度の恋は
おーいパンチョリーナ
いけそうじゃないか
おーいパンチョリーナ
そう思わないか
そう思わないか
そう思わないか
そう思わないか
