See below for the complete tour details.<\/p>\n<p>Big Ups exploded onto the scene in late 2013 after releasing their single <em>Goes Black<\/em>. Big Ups&#8217; approach to the punk genre incorporated facets of West Coast hardcore, politically-charged DC post-hardcore, classic UK punk, and at times, the sludge and noise of the &#8217;90s era Touch And Go\/Amphetamine Reptile scene; all of it filtered through singer Joe Galarraga&#8217;s frustrations and meditations on truth, faith, and science.<\/p>\n<p>Their debut album &#8216;Eighteen Hours Of Static,&#8217; the title being a reference to Carl Sagan&#8217;s Contact, released on Dead Labour (US) and Tough Love (UK), catapulted the band toward national awareness. In the fall of 2014, after months of touring, the band released their &#8216;Not Today\/Rash&#8217; single on the up and coming taste maker label Exploding In Sound. When not on the road, Big Ups enjoy beer, long walks on the beach, and recording new material.
