Often described as “Powerviolence Jesus Lizard”, the Philadelphia based outfit Big Burly have finally revleased their debut EP, Tumors, via Strange Mono Records. Getting together the members of Sheer MagThe Company Corvette and Programmed HatredBig 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)
