Six60 burst onto the scene in 2010 with 'Rise Up 2.0', the lead single from their self-titled debut album. The track’s electrifying beat fuses drum and bass with pop-rock leanings, paired with lyrics that speak to resilience, revolution, and a call to "rise up" to the challenge. Directed by Greg Page, the music video features a starkly lit arm-wrestling competition charged with the dramatic edge of an underground fight club. While the competitors face off, the band delivers a high-octane performance of the song from behind a wire cage. 'Rise Up 2.0' topped the New Zealand Singles Chart and achieved double platinum status.
In 2010, they released the song 'Rise Up 2.0'. It peaked at number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart and cemented them as an act worth paying attention to. The rest, as they say, is history.– Journalist Sahiban Hyde on the success of Six60's 'Rise Up 2.0', Hawke's Bay Today, 8 October 2020
