GIMME TINNITUS

GT Favs BIG UPS are getting ready to release their full-length debut, Eighteen Hours of Static on October 18th via Dead Labour Records. This hardcore punk track is darker and more serious than some of their more bratty demos, and it sounds amazing (thanks in part to mastering done by Sarah Register of Talk Normal). You might be one of those people that think “punk is dead,” but after listening to this track you will find yourself questioning that belief.

Listen.

Downloadable: Goes Black (mp3) (as seen)

Eighteen Hours of Static will be available @ deadlabour.tumblr.com/store.

Upcoming NYC Shows:

• Aug 17th @ Rippers w/ Sleepies + EULA + Shark? + Low Fat Getting High (suggested donation with all proceeds being donated to Restore Rockaway) (early show 6pm) (fb rsvp)
• Aug 31st @ The Studio at Webster Hall w/ Pile + Young Adults + Weird Womb + Flagland (fb rsvp)
