Big Beat

Aggressive, guitar-heavy glam rock that trades chamber-pop elegance for a massive, stomping drum sound and satirical American grit.

It's Sparks if they decided to become a stadium rock band but kept all the weirdness and the jokes.

A high-energy, satirical blast of guitar-driven rock that feels both confrontational and deeply clever.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the massive, echoing drum crack that opens 'Big Boy' setting a new aggressive tone

russell's vocal acrobatics fighting to stay above the thick wall of guitars in 'Everybody's Stupid'

the relentless, driving piano and guitar interplay on 'I Like Girls' that feels like a precursor to punk
