From faith and science to the role of society, Big Ups aren’t afraid to mull over great big, polarising issues. Now - four years on from their debut, ‘Eighteen Hours of Static’, and two years on from second album ‘Before A Million Universes’ - they’ve taken yet another leap forward with their new record ‘Two Parts Together’. Fuelled by growing up in a world that’s both crazy and unpredictable, this one sees them tackling the unknown.
Hey Joe, what have you guys had going on since your second album, any major life events?
Yeah, a lot has changed for all of us. Brendan [Finn, drums] got married a few months ago. Carlos [Salguero Jr., bass] and I have decided to go back to school. Amar [Lal, guitar]’s getting his immigration sorted. He's been working on a lot of records. It’s pretty shocking how much can change in two years.
How would you describe the current mood of the band?
We try our best to enjoy the present, as hard as that may be. It sometimes feels like the world is so crazy and unpredictable, but for us, this band is something that the four of us can do that makes us feel right in some ways. We're happy to be doing this now.
