The Profile

American post-hardcore band from New York City, active in the 2010s and acclaimed for a dynamic, visceral sound across three albums.

Formed in New York City in 2010; members include Joe Galarraga, Amar Lal, Carlos Salguero, and Brendan Finn. Albums: Eighteen Hours of Static (2014), Before a Million Universes (2016), Two Parts Together (2018). Went on hiatus in 2019.

DeBaser reviewers praise Big Ups’ post-hardcore force and 90s-inflected dynamics. Themes of apathy, disillusionment and justice loom large. Two Parts Together and Before a Million Universes draw comparisons to Fugazi, Slint, Shellac and Unwound. Overall sentiment is highly favorable, with vivid, visceral writing.
