Big Bite – “Big Bite”
May the Fourth be with you today while you enjoy the RECORD OF THE WEEK Blog!!!
Every member of BIG BITE found each other via a spiritual connection of past lives in 2015 and has since formed deeper bonds through live performance and guided meditation, thus continuing a lineage of sacrifice through music. Taking over a year to record and mix, this is BIG BITE’s debut LP! Courtesy of POP WIG, its a culmination of all the ideas formed over the three years since the bands formation. Hang tight because BIG BITE is about to head out on a full US and Canada tour starting in June!!!

After an overwhelming demand on the first pressing during Record Store Day, Pirates Press Records sprung into immediate action on a repress. BOOZE & GLORY’S “London Skinhead Crew” contains both the recently released reggae version and the original recording – while the grooves play INSIDE OUT! This repress is done on ‘Claret’ & ‘Blue’ AsideBside and like the first pressing, will not last long. Pick up a copy over at PIRATES PRESS RECORDS!

For HONEY AND SALT, there is immense power in the parts of a whole. This idea has always been in the band’s DNA, from its three members — each with their own distinct and essential contributions — to the flurry of interlocking notes and melodies that make up their intricate songs. Now on their self-titled sophomore album, it also extends into their worldview, as HONEY AND SALT seek to cut through the pessimistic fog of seemingly inescapable sociopolitical unease, and highlight the vital capability of the individual. Find out more over at SPARTAN RECORDS!

“Glittervomit” is the dizzyingly energetic sophomore LP from Birmingham, Alabama-based psych-punk outfit THE BURNING PEPPERMINTS. It’s a record that grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you over the course of its lean, 26-minute runtime — but these are eight songs that you’d be dancing to anyway. Their latest retains the lo-fi, west-coast aesthetic you know them for, but now the band is signed to the Kansas City, Missouri-based label HIGH DIVE RECORDS — and with a full-album release, including a vinyl pressing, the record’s a considerably higher-stakes affair…
