A short summary of the sweet, submissive sounds of Big Business

Author Lisa   Filed under Music   October 13, 2006  

Deranged gorillas cutting scrap metal with rusty chainsaws.  Volcanic eruptions spewing forth discharging semi-automatic weapons.  Dinosaurs emerging from extinction all at once to raise their gigantic heads in a collective roar of protest, only to crumble violently under their own weight. 

If these images sound familiar to you, then you’ve heard Big Business’s 2005 release, “Head for the Shallow” (Hydra Head Records).  The powerful, ear-bleeding sounds of bassist Jared Warren (Karp, Tight Bros from Way Back When), and drummer Coady Willis (The Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide) will make you want to destroy public property, or crouch fearfully in the corner and weep.  Either way, you may want to wear some kind of protective helmet. 

Also, be sure to look for their new record (to be released on Hydra Head in 2007), which will likely pack the same nose-breaking punch. 

We heart Big Business.

It’s because you weren’t wearing your helmet.
