Massive news... BIG NUM are a brilliant band currently playing the English circuit in that classic unsigned underground mode where the world doesn’t know yet but it’s just about to find out... You MUST go see this band play live.
These boys inhabit a complete ‘no-bullshit zone’ where only the songs matter. In the words of one blogger, ‘they look like a boy band but sound like AC/DC'. This band are headed straight down the main street of 21stcentury rock’n’roll.
Big Num comprises of the three Boston brothers, Beau, Luke and Victor, plus drummer Alex Warren.

If you like your rock with a classic sound, early AC/DC style riffs with a touch of Iggy Pop in places, some clever lyrics and a momentum that doesn't let up? Then this young band are for you.
This four piece band consisting of three brothers, have the sound of seasoned pro's when they look like baby-faced assassins, have self produced a cd that shows great maturity.
The twelve track , self penned cd kicks off with two mighty songs in the Bon Scott era 'Its Only Conversation' and 'Who You Gonna Love', if you are sitting still after these then there is something severely wrong with you. 'Too Clever For Words' shows the bands clever use of lyrics, giving us a history lesson in mans achievements, it has an interesting vocal style on it, also providing us with the cd title in one of the verses. The pace slows down a little on the next song 'Heartbreak No More' still a quality tune. My particular live favourite 'Sinking Ships' is up with a killer riff that rolls through the track, Angus must be scratching his head as to how he missed that riff, its collosal.
'Fallout On The Radio' is the last of the conventional rock tunes on here and is another slice of classic rock.
'Favourite Gun' and 'Love Is A Complex Thing' are a change of direction slightly, the latter being co-written with Tony Newton of Voodoo Six, the vocalising starting to give us more options and making the songs sound very interesting.
The last three tracks 'The Correct Way', 'Send My Love' and 'Twilight Hours' take a turn towards Iggy Pop style to my ears, still terrific tunes showing the bands versatility.
This is an ideal festival band who can whip up the crowd into a frenzy with unrelenting classic songs of very good quality, all killer no filler here.
Someone please sign this band up and give them radio airplay, after also seeing them live recently , I know how good they are.
