Big Black

Hey there, music fans! Let's talk about Big Black, a noise rock band that left a massive dent in the American underground music scene of the 1980s. These guys were all about raw, abrasive sounds and provocative lyrics that would make your parents blush.

Formed in 1981 by Steve Albini, Big Black quickly gained a reputation for their harsh, industrial-tinged sound and confrontational live shows. They released a handful of EPs and two studio albums before calling it quits in 1987. Their final album, "Songs About Fucking," pretty much sums up their no-holds-barred approach to music and lyrics. Though they were only around for a short time, Big Black's influence on noise rock, industrial, and alternative music can still be felt today. If you're into music that pushes boundaries and doesn't care about being radio-friendly, Big Black is definitely worth checking out!
