Big Laugh Announce Debut Album “Consume Me” & Share New Single & Video “Mask”

Milwaukee, WI’s creative hardcore outfit Big Laugh are set to unleash an energetic blast of creative hardcore in the shape of their debut full length, Consume Me, which is set for release on February 10th on Revelation Records. The lead single Mask kicks things off with a minute and a half of fast-punk guitars & snarling vocals with a groove-heavy breakdown. The video for the song compiles together live footage, giving an inkling as to what fans can expect when the band heads out on tour with Gel in early 2023.

Recorded with producer Matt Russell at Altered States studio in Chicago, Consume Me bends genres and refuses to stick to tired formulas, taking nods from other Midwest greats like Husker Du and Die Kreuzen. Self-described “punks who listen to Judge.” Big Laugh work in a wide array of influences, from the blazing speed and harsh noises of Japanese rippers like Gauze and Bastard to the mosh-ready impact of NYHC bands like Burn and Alone In A Crowd, and even some melodic sensibilities akin to the aforementioned Husker Du.

The album’s lyrics hit close to home for the band, holding personal notions while still feeling outwardly relatable. The band’s 2020 EP, Manic Revision, is also set to get a vinyl reissue via Revelation Records.
