Once in a while, a band comes along and you can’t help but think that they write the soundtrack to your life. That band for me is Big Scary . Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the duo have been making headlines nationally for several years with their calm, hip-hop-beated, alternative-styled brand of garage pop. From Tom Iansek and Jo Syme’s subtly suggestive lyrics to their interesting beats and intimate peaks and lows, their songs cater to all listening desires. In the lead-up to their 2013 full length release, Not Art, on June 28, [...]
Big Scary keep going from strength to strength. I vaguely recall the duo playing a friend's mini music fest at Grumpy's Green down on Smith St four years ago. Now they've got their fine NYC mugshots in Interview mag and are taking stabs at Phil Collins' repertoire, coz they can. The pair are ready to drop their new album Not Art in just a little over a month (snippet preview here ). It sounds excellent, of course. Not that you'd expect anything less from these guys. Big Scary's [...]
I may be completely pulling at stings here, but Big Scary did manage to spend some time in India in 2012, playing a number of shows with the likes Karnivool, Sheppard, The Aston Shuffle and Jinja Safari. There's a city in India called Lucknow, east of Delhi. Furthermore, the national symbol of India is the Peacock, which I believe stars in the cover art for Big Scary's latest single, 'Luck Now'. Conspiracies aside, 'Luck Now' displays a new side to the Melbourne based duo, verging on glitch-like drums, Tom Iansek vocals are delivered with a ferocity, [...]

Shorthanded Goals is a feature that melds the best of both worlds. More new artists wanting to catch your eyes and ears and hearts – whether they be free giveaways from albums I’ve already covered, or free tracks sent to me that I never got the chance to listen to from bands/readers/whoever, or maybe even the usual PR and label goodies that arrive on the regular.

Jo Syme and Ton Iansek are set to release their sophomore record in 2013 , Not Art, will be the follow-up from 20112s Vacation . 'Phil Collins' displays a distinct brooding and building style that's often linked to Big Scary, also on show is Iansek's instantly recognisable vocals. Not Art is out on the duo's newly formed label, Pieeater . In an interview I had with Syme [...]

BIG SCARY.
So this is a freaking incredible tune. Like, really fucking good. Big Scary are back at it, producing some of the greatest, almost sombre music, that yep, I really dig. Phil Collins is taken off the bands 2nd album Not Art due out later on this year. ... Miks

Big Scary Get Bigger With Assistance from “Phil Collins”
Big Scary debut a new song, "Phil Collins", that's probably named after someone important. Big Scary , the Australian duo of Tom Iansek and Joanna Syme, have released a new single titled "Phil Collins". "Phil Collins" is the first track from their forthcoming sophomore album, Not Art, that follows their debut, Vacation.

Big Scary: Vacation
Big Scary's Vacation has been praised for over a year now. All of the praise is deserved. This is one of the strongest debuts to come out in quite some time. Wow. How did we get here? At what point is a record this successfully accessible, artistic and engaging kept this quiet. In Australia the band has made waves but in America, they've been relegated to word of mouth, mostly via indie blog praise and commercial placement. Hopefully, the official US release of Vacation changes that, because I'll be damned if this isn't one of the outright [...]
