If you download the free records, and would like to donate some money to the band, it would be highly appreciated. Every penny helps. But don't feel obligated to do so, we're more than happy with your support through the downloads and the love you have shown us. Thank you for everything.
We have self-recorded and released two EPs in the past year.
We have received over 5,000 downloads for each EP.
We are currently writing a new Full Length record, which we will record this summer and release early this fall.
We are currently booking shows and playing at them as well.
We still like to dance (and eat burritos).

"The band hits their stride once Weiland's high-pitched voice breaks in; he has a better grasp of his own vocal ability on this EP compared to The Fiery Works, and his range is especially impressive as he sings background for himself on "Drought of Snow" (more on this track in a bit). The sound of the EP is relaxed alternative/melodic rock that isn't boring. Comparisons have been made between A Great Big Pile of Leaves and acts such as Minus the Bear and The Appleseed Cast. I'll admit I'm not familiar with those artists, so I checked out some of their songs on myspace to hear for myself. The comparisons seem fair, but I should point out A Great Big Pile of Leaves also have a pop flair that makes them easily accessible."
"Take a moment out of your day. Turn off your cell phone; cancel your appointments and dive into A Great Big Pile of Leaves’ The Fiery Works II. Take your iPod for a walk and plug into this serene and moving record. It will only take about 15 minutes of your time to get through it, but allow yourself to be taken by it. There are bright tones and colors contained on The Fiery Works II evocative of what you could expect to see in a sprawling natural environment – which is a theme of the record, and even the title of the band. It’s an interesting motif when you consider that Tyler Soucy and Pete Weiland reside in Brooklyn, New York, but somehow it works and is pulled off with remarkable poise."
"The Fiery Works II is more ‘dancey’ and if you’re standing up you can’t resist dancing to the jazz drums and the rock guitar riffs. Me, I’m sitting down and my feet and head cannot keep still. This Brooklyn duo has this power over your body which makes you move some part of your body if not all of it. The production on these tracks is incredible, making you think twice about it being recorded in one of their bedrooms and living room. No I didn’t just make that up, it’s true. Unbelievable? I know. I’m trying to find anything I can criticise on, but if I have to be honest here I can’t find anything. Giving this a perfect 10 is a first for me, but why shouldn’t I give this a 10 if I can’t find anything bad?"
"A Great Big Pile of Leaves sound like they were influenced by the best parts of Keane, Radiohead, and The Kooks and then mashed it all up to create various melodic configurations in their songs for their self-recorded six song EP The Fiery Works."
"I can’t wait until this band gets big. Not necessarily because I love the music—though, at times I really do—but because I can’t wait to hear the inevitable “A Great Big Pile of Shit” jokes. Thanks to the quality of this duo’s downloadable debut, I will sadly be refraining from such humor."
"These Brooklyn natives have their game on lock. Their sound is full of guitar noodling, highly reminiscent of bands like Minus the Bear and As Tall as Lions. Considering the band is comprised of only two members, they’ve done a great job creating a full and rich sound. They also have a strong ‘80s influence from bands like Echo and the Bunnymen or the Smiths. At any rate, A Great Big Pile of Leaves has an upbeat and energetic sound that will undoubtedly make you move your feet. Don’t waste anymore time. Head to their Web site and get a hold of both EPs in The Fiery Works collection."
-Roshan Bhatt, The Daily Cougar (University of Houston)
"Oh I love these guys so much. Ok first of all Tyler Soucy is one of the best drummers I've ever heard up close, and he pretty much makes every song he plays sound tight as a (ahem) drum. Not to mention Pete Weiland's creative and unique guitar work. But really the whole thing about this little outfit that gets me is Pete's voice. There is something so crushy and cool about it. He's so dynamic that he doesn't even need any tricks, but still he layers octaves and distant-sounding harmonies to make perfect even better and to make a girl like me swoon."

"Two thumbs up Justin."
