Watch: Big Ups Air ‘Goes Black’ Video
Fearsome Brooklyn group thrive in live elements until they blackout.

Tough Love-signed, Brooklyn based botherers Big Ups - responsible for some of the most energised punk you’ll hear in yonks - have shared a video for their tense and terrifying ‘Goes Black’ song.
The song’s taken from their debut album, ‘Eighteen Hours of Static’, out via Tough Love on 13th January 2014. Sean Stout / TerrorEyes directs the ‘Goes Black’ video, showing the band in their element: Sweaty live venues. Joe Galarraga kicks off sarcy and pacing - by the end he’s topless, rolling around a dark basement immersed in the frenzy.
