DeBaser's reviews praise Big Ups' ability to blend post-hardcore, alternative rock and post-rock influences into a personal sound. Reviewers compare them to 80s/90s touchstones (Shellac, Slint, Unwound) and highlight themes of modern malaise. Three studio albums are covered: Eighteen Hours Of Static (2014), Before a Million Universes (2016) and Two Parts Together (2018).

For:Listeners of post-hardcore, alternative rock, and fans of 80s/90s-influenced indie bands.

 There are very few bands that manage to transform that cauldron of alternative-rock/post-hardcore/post-rock, straddling the ’80s and ’90s, which at the time was still somewhat undefined, and turn it into something fresh and extremely personal (I think of Metz, Pile, partly Krill, and very little else).

 This album is festering with all the repressed will to live of the 21st century.
