An explosive duo straight from England, Big Special reinvent the musical landscape with an intense performance that blends the fervour of a preacher with the authenticity of a modern-day poet.
Their music, a bold mix of hard-hitting live beats and driving riffs, celebrates hymns of resilience and revolt. Between despair and hope, their lyrics offer a reflection on a Britain in decline, where class struggles are intensifying.
Inspired by the likes of Freddie Mercury and Jimi Hendrix, and touched by Delta blues and authentic country, Joe Hicklin and Callum Moloney create songs that are both war cries and tales of personal survival. Tracks like ‘This Here Ain’t Water’ and ‘Shithouse’ explore poignant themes such as mental health and social depression, while ‘Desperate Breakfast’ depicts the daily struggle of working class people.
Big Special is a necessary and revealing voice, a cry from the heart for a world in search of truth and solidarity.
