About The Big Bang

They jive to Little Richard, drink to Johnny Cash and worship at the altar of early Black Sabbath. Once described as "a big, bad whirlwind of rock and roll" The Big Bang have established themselves as one of the most exciting, visceral and enigmatic bands the U.K has to offer.

The Big Bang create Rock and Roll from the old school that exudes both clatter and class.

Having played shows with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Modey Lemon, Editors, Demons Claws, The Immortal Lee County Killers and The Datsuns to name but a few. The Big Bang also have a residency at the legendary ColdRice club.

July 2007 sees the release of their debut album "Shoot the Freak" on ColdRice Records which will undoubtedly prove to any non believers the potency of their sound.

"The Big Bang are the epitome of rock'n'roll." - The FLY

"Undoubtedly the best unsigned band in Birmingham" - NME

"A hot-to-trot explosion of a band" - Rock Sound

"Demons are not so much exorcised as they are summoned to dance and rip through the audience via primal roars of rhythmically satanic and obscenely dirty riffs." - Media Assassin

"Balls the size of rocket launchers!!" - NME

And last but not least..."They are rock and roll personified. You can smell it on their breath." - Tamworth Herald (Big Time!)
