Big Huge celebrates “Cruel World” LP at BK Bazaar on 08.16

Big Huge have been joining the grit and DIY mentality of punk with infectiously catchy tunes since 2012, and their 2015 self-released EP Orama featured some ultra-fun, unstoppable tunes drenched in vintage influences. In that record, front-man Dan Reg’s twitchy vocals often evoked the sugary sweet melodies of 50’s pop with a layer of fuzzy distorted garage rock, while singing about love and enjoying the company of friends during the late night hours. The five-piece is about to release their debut full length "Cruel World" on Don Giovanni Records on August 11th, and, judging from the two preview singles, there is good reason to keep those good old ripped jeans handy, because the reference decade seems to be closer to 1977. The first opportunity to wear them comes on August 16th, when they will be celebrating the record’s release party at Brooklyn Bazaar. – John Honan
