Listen: Big Ups Announce Debut Album, Share ‘Goes Black’
NYC thrashers are new on the Tough Love roster for a debut release.
New York City sinners Big Ups are readying the release of their debut album, ‘Eighteen Hours of Static’, via Tough Love on 13th January 2014. Thinking four months ahead: They’re set to soundtrack some sweaty, disgusting shows further down the line if new some ‘Goes Black’ is any indication.
The four-piece’s latest single circuits witty Parquet Courts-ish mutterings with all-guns-blazing thrashing choruses.
‘Eighteen Hours of Static’ was recorded over three days in Brooklyn earlier this year. The band are set to play three showcases at New York’s CMJ fest.
