Big Bite
If Pitchfork Magazine were to cover BIG BITE, it would go something like this:
BIG BITE may sound like a rapper with an insatiable appetite, but this Seattle-based band is actually serving up a generous portion of grunge-infused punk rock. Formed in 2015, BIG BITE consists of Matt Berry (vocals, guitar), Jon Gaiser (bass), Jon Hanna (drums), and Cody Doss (lead guitar). With their raw energy and heavy riffs, BIG BITE is like a sonic punch in the face - in the best possible way.
Their debut album, self-titled and released in 2017, is a relentless barrage of distortion and angst, with catchy hooks that will have you headbanging in no time. Tracks like "Pure of Heart" and "Paralyzed" showcase the band's ability to blend grunge with punk in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
BIG BITE's live shows are not to be missed, with Berry's frenetic stage presence and Doss's shredding guitar solos keeping audiences on their toes. And despite their abrasive sound, the band's lyrics are surprisingly introspective, touching on themes of alienation and self-discovery.
In a music scene dominated by cookie-cutter pop acts, BIG BITE is a refreshing reminder of the power of loud, unapologetic rock music. So next time you're in the mood for something a little rough around the edges, give BIG BITE a listen - just be prepared to have your eardrums blown.
