  Big Special

  UK duo Big Special write about desperation and struggle, about a Britain in decline, about finding pride in your darkest moments, about how the real class war in the UK involves always punching downwards. They’ve developed a sound drawing disparate influences like Sleaford Mods’ bleakly hilarious bark, the intense power of Tom Waits-esque gospel, the healing power of soul and the electric charge of rock into something ecstatic, painful, truthful and real. The riotous debut album Postindustrial Hometown Blues came out in May.
