Fresh Music Friday: Big Ups

Fresh Music Friday

Fresh Music Friday: Listen to Big Ups.

Straight out of the Brooklyn DIY scene, Big Ups is a four-piece post-punk band with soft edges of hardcore. While punk music used to be a rule breaking, in your face genre, “post punk” seems addled with self reflection, mirror gazing, and pointedly anti-commerical messages that seem all too commercial. Big Ups lives up to this new-ish style with a flourish.

Imagine attending a live music show in a warehouse, a house party in a rental property, or some backyard barbecue where the garage serves as the stage and you’d find something like Big Ups headlining the show. Pretty boys that take their music seriously, or so it seems.
