Listen here as you read….. 5 song 7.2 playlist This is my PURELY UNBIASED review of Big Wreck’s second of three 5 song EP’s entitled 7.2. It’s a banger. So as most of you know, I have been listening to this whole collection for quite some time. I even shared some unsolicited opinions with Ian (I can’t help myself) on track selection and concepts for how the three EP’s should be grouped by category. I am known to overshare.... Thankfully there are peeps in the BW camp that know MUCH better than I what they are doing in this crazy new music biz free for all.
I thought you'd really enjoy these videos if you want to hear all the layers that were mixed into the songs. If you haven't seen these then you've been missing out and must see them ASAP!!!
I must say the House is the song that I almost recommended but didn't due to no video other than the drummer's own live video. However, the solo in that song is the Diamond of guitar work on this album...inwas conflicted because I knew if Michael heard that song he'd be all over the guitar work on it but F&C won out due the video and the fact it just hits you like a million volts of electricity.

Your writing is filled with beautiful imagery that makes you feel like you've heard these songs before you have (I can imagine that's what I'd feel like had I not heard it first.)
I'm honored to be invited by a Big Wreck fan that's as big a fan as I am. When you understand how great and rare Ian Thornley is in this day and age you realize it requires this much detail...this much prose because there is SO MUCH there. Listen again and again and there is always some new sound, riff, layer on a cake of infinite ingredients. It's a cacophony of sound hitting you from all directions.
Buk your commentary is like the butter smothered on the mashed potatoes of my life. But I cannot agree to any pop influence. Perhaps jazz. Perhaps blues. Perhaps old school rock. But my ears hear such unique sexy hard flowy caramel ie syrup sandwich. 🧡🧡

Great review! I’m about 35 mins away from hearing the full thing. Can’t wait!
