“Big Ups' Eighteen Hours of Static combines numerous styles of underground rock music to create one of the most cutting, satirical rock records of this year. Think Minor Threat, Slint, D.R.I., and Dead Milkmen coming to a fantastic compromise on a collaborative album.”
“Throughout Eighteen Hours of Static, arty Brooklyn post-punkers Big Ups' howling debut LP, vocalist Joe Galarraga and company put the world on notice. For 28 minutes, no grievance goes unaired, and no blood's left unlet.”
