Big Black

  / artists (B)
Profile:Famous American noise-rock act which was active in the 80s and included future superstar producer and critic Steve Albini. They generated a lot of controversy due to their lyrics and overall image (limited edition of "Headache" 12" included gruesome photo of gunshot wound victim). They were also known for acting independently of major labels, not having a lawyer and overall attitude which separated them from typical rock stars. Big Black split up in the late 80s with members moving on to a number of different projects including Arsenal (2) and Shellac

Putyrhandsup, Oct 20, 2005

Ah Big Black, how I love thee so. Not that Big Black themselves would approve of such mushy, pathetic sentiments as 'Love'. A true bastard band of hideous epic filth, revelling in the degradation of the world around them while burning it all down. Big Black was the sound of my youth and I was a very unhappy child. Also, they had the best artwork ever for a brutal noise rock explosion. The sound of your lungs collapsing while the busdriver rapes your kids. And I'm not saying that for shock value, that's what the songs are about. Classics everyone. Also, try playing 'Jordan, Minnesota' or 'Kerosene' in your techno set and see what happens (usually everyone leaves, but they're wrong so do it anyway). Just don't use 'Songs About Fucking' as sex muzak, though should you find someone it gets off, you're totally in luck.
