groundcontrolmag.com Presents: Big Business

www.groundcontrolmag.com

The second installment of Lunarcast features Big Business, perhaps the busiest and most productive rock band around. Bassist/singer Jared Warren and arguably one the best drummers alive, Coady Willis, not only thrive as a two-piece, cultivating a style of heavy music with touches of metal, punk and prog, but also make up a portion of The Melvins' rhythm section.

In true Big Business fashion, they held a free pre-record release show at All-Star Lanes in Eagle Rock, CA, to celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Here Come the Waterworks. Ground Control had a chance to meet up with them to talk about their beginnings, working with producer and friend Phil Ek and the upside to being a band without special dietary needs.

It's "shields." Listen to "grounds for divorce" on here myspacedotcom/bigbigbusiness, then listen to the video. It's "shields," i swear. and i wish we had more video of these guys. the place they played was super dark, so the live footage was really hard to use. thanks for watching!

[BigBusiness68]

[groundcontrolmag]

The song is called "Shields" off their new album, Here Come the Waterworks. The song rules.

@HamburgerMartyr

I disagree. Toshi needs to actually integrate his guitar parts into songs that actually make sense, or GTFO. I found the guitar to be quite distracting and meandering, which is a far cry from their previous works, which I could listen to all the way through without a second thought.

What's the first song in this video?

[thisisrealyo]

hahhaa. I was thinking of something to reply what the White Stripes 'is' but I think you said it best.

[kevchinoalacarte]

[HamburgerMartyr]
