Big Lad - Pro Rock

Review by Bekki Bemrose

The sound of a hyperactive child fuelled by an overdose of Haribo let loose on a dusty hoard of synthesisers and a drum kit»

Buy now from:

Big lad is a two headed trigger synth, party noise machine, made up of Henri Grimes (ex Sheild Your Eyes) on drums and Wayne Adams (ex Death Pedals) on synths. “Are your ready? Let’s play!” exclaims the strangely menacing toy sample which opens up Big Lad’s new record… and play they certainly do, may God help you if you’re not ready as from the off warp speed drumming ala Lightning Bolt twists and turns with Venetian Snares and Aphex Twin style synth and gizmo sonic warfare. This isn't a record to soundtrack a picnic. ‘Pro Rock’ is the second album from the band, their first being 2015’s ‘Big Lad’ record which was released under the moniker Shitwife. They then decided to rename the band Big Lad, to confuse the crap out of everyone, which it did.
