Up and Crumbling is an EP released by the American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms on October 8, 1991. It was released after the Gin Blossoms signed with A&M Records and, while attempting to create a full-length album, ran into a creative drought during the recording sessions. According to the band's official website, the band recorded Up and Crumbling "on their own in hopes of rekindling the spark from Dusted that had been missing from the recent recordings."The Gin Blossoms' official web site, [http://www.ginblossoms.net/band.php "Band"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040904170019/http://ginblossoms.net/band.php |date=2004-09-04 }}. "Allison Road" was released as a single to promote the EP.{{cite AV media notes |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/4558035-Gin-Blossoms-Allison-Road/images |title=Allison Road Credits |type=liner notes |publisher=A&M Records |id=7502173322 |access-date=March 16, 2025}}
