I was listening to a band called Metric. Their early work reminded me of you guys; especially the voice, it sounds a lot like Kate's. So, I decided to place I Asked For You...First in it's most comfortable spot, which is my cd player. I'd almost forgotten how much I really like "#1 Fan". I really don't care what the reviews say, "Boys Are Outside" is cool.
Big Hell will be releasing three albums over the course of 2009.
The first two are an EPs of songs written, recorded and produced by the duo.
The second will be an epic multimedia concept album entitled "The Day We Dropped the Bomb Again". It is best described as "The Wall for a Hip Hop generation".
