Big Surr

Big Surr

Beautifully smashed up & melodic female fronted punk. It's the sugar on your bowl of shredded wheat. It's the gravel in your soup. It still warms the belly, but it leaves its mark. Their energy can be intense ("Gone" & "Alright"), or brought to a simmer ("Co Sine Tan Gent" & "You Got Somethin'"), but whatever they're doing at any given moment, it will suck you in. ...Hooks, energy, and sticky & sweet balls of distortion!!...I love this!!!---> Visit the band's blogspot page below and download their highly recommended debut EP Miss You Most & keep an eye out for their upcoming 7" on Infinity Cat.
