The Big Bad, West Virginia's horror punk phenomonon, formed in the summer of 2004. Shortly after forming, the band recorded a five song, self titled EP. After recording a 10 song (unreleased) LP, the Big Bad briefly disbanded, but regrouped in the Fall of 2007. The new lineup, consisting of Zack Von Nasty, Colonel Cuttingham, Freddie Machete and Hannibal Spector are currently writing new material. The re-vamped Big Bad will soon be coming to a cemetery near you
Hey guys! I've started posting songs to The WV Scene Playlist, but need the help of all the WV Area bands to decide how the Playlists should be done. I'd really appreciate it if you took part in the poll I've posted on The WV Scene myspace page. After all this is a site meant to look after the best interests of the artists whether they be professional or just beginning. (Be sure to add our activity stream so that we can better communicate what it is we're trying to do).
Hey everyone! It's about time to post some of your tunes on The WV Scene Playlist... Until I come up with a better system I'll post the songs of the first ten bands who respond and I'm planning on including a wide variety of styles on the list. Thanks so much!
