Oh shit, here comes the sludge.

You ever know you’re in for a world of pain from the first two drum hits of a record? You can feel the oncoming ‘crowd kill’ coming your way and there’s nowhere to escape? That’s exactly how Big Spill crashes in on their recently released Big Ugly Picture.

Released by TV Jesus Records – best known for that Adderall VS Big Pharma EP – Big Spill is a brick wall in a dark, dirty alleyway. It’s gritty, it’s rough, and it’s mean as hell. There’s no light at the end of whatever dumpster these guys crawled out of; no escape from the garbage heap.

From beginning to end this quick 5-song EP takes you on a journey into the depths of despair, anger, and hopelessness. The breakdowns are torturous and when they bring it up to speed, there’s a sense of drag and slag – it’s a sludge-life for these trash-rats and Big Spill revels in it. The guitar tone reeks like equipment cheaply pawned and bought, thrown around every DIY venue, and spat back out. Everything about this recording sounds broken and duct-taped together. Even the vocals come through cracked, fried, and beaten down.

But even the most beaten down brat gets their revenge. This could be the soundtrack for your next rage-fill murder rampage.
