Big Burly Announce Debut EP “Tumors”

Often described as “Powerviolence Jesus Lizard”, the Philadelphia based outfit Big Burly are finally getting ready to present their debut EP, Tumors, that is due out on July 18th via Strange Mono Records and is now available for pre-order. Getting together the members of Sheer Mag, The Company Corvette and Programmed Hatred, Big Burly created a signature sound putting together the bassists Jess Kramer and Ross Pritchet front and center. The guitar-less band is balanced perfectly by Ian Dykstra‘s pounding drum style while Dan T‘s deranged vocals serve up relentless energy. Big Burly aims to remove the preconceptions of how Punk is supposed to sound. Wry humor, blisteringly short songs and non-repetitive structures all combine to make something truly unique and fun to listen to. Proceeds from sales of this album are being donated to the Philadelphia Bail Fund.

“Inspiration for the lyrics largely came from my childhood experiences. Growing up in a rural area and playing with my friends in the trailer park. Observing alcoholism, violence, ‘Christian values’, and generally abysmal states of being that seem totally normal because you’re a kid.” (Dan T)
