Big Ups - Two Parts Together

More so than Big Ups' two prior albums, Two Parts Together suffers from a serious lack of refreshing ideas.

Big Ups - Before a Million Universes

NY post-hardcore outfit Big Ups return with a slightly more abstract--and Slint-influenced--approach on their latest album here.

Big Ups - "National Parks" (Video)

From Before a Millions Universes, the follow-up to New York post-hardcore outfit Big Ups' brilliant debut Eighteen Hours of Static (review). Out March 4 via Exploding in Sound.

Big Ups - "Not Today"

https://soundcloud.com/wearebigups/not-today The lovable noise rockers over at Big Ups are teaming up with fellow Brooklynites Washer for a split 7", due out November 18 via Exploding in Sound. Last week we shared the first track from Big Ups' side, "Rash," and now you can hear their second scathing offering, "Not Today," above. Happy listening!

Big Ups - "Rash"

Previously loved New York noise rock newbies Big Ups have a new split 7" on the way via Exploding In Sound, and "Rash" is one of several tracks on it. Give a listen via the embed above, and try not to bob your head too violently.

Big Ups - "Goes Black"

Here's a piece of wordy, nerdy, and perturbed-y piece of art punk that's been growing on me lately: Big Ups' Eighteen Hours of Static. "Goes Black" is one of the couple songs the band is letting people stream from their new album, which is out now via Dead Labour Records.

The tracks on this thing really check a lot of boxes for me. It's well-read, aggressive, emotive, and plenty of skilled guitar play with a punk edge. Enjoy!

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.
