Cruising - Self-Titled EP

Big Ups - Eighteen Hours of Static

Stream: Big Ups - Eighteen Hours of Static Eighteen Hours of Static, the debut LP from New York punk outfit Big Ups, is a refreshing half hour of caustic and cathartic post-hardcore. The mix here is muddy, the playing is messy, and the vocals of frontman Joe Galarraga are manic - often searing. But it's all quite glorious in just how simultaneously sincere and abrasive  its 11 songs are. Give it a listen above via Stereogum.

Eighteen Hours of Static is out now via Dead Labour and Tough Love.
