I'm not sure what it is, but there's something about The Big Big Bucks ' Futurecar that reminds me of Saves the Day. I know to a lot of people that could be seen as an insult, but given I'm one of the few who will admit to loving that band, I can assure you that it isn't. The song is loud, it's fast and it's covered in distortion, and yet it retains a sense of structure to it all. There's more to The Big Big Bucks than that though, as little else on the [...]
...last Spring we made the acquaintance of Boston's The Big Big Bucks, as their drummer, Mike Tucker, was pounding the tubs on tour with fellow Bostonians, Pretty & Nice when they rolled through Dayton. Well, now it's time for The Big Big Bucks to make their Dayton debut as they plan to stop into South [...]

Next Friday, August 14th, Quiet Color will be taking over Bruar Falls , the new venue from the folks who brought you Cake Shop, to present four bands with similar influences but different general aesthetics.

Doors open at 8 and the cover is a measly 7 bucks. You know [...]

We brought Boston band Pretty & Nice to our SXSW showcase at Victory Grill and have been awaiting their return to Austin for a proper show. We are in luck, because the band has a show lined up next week at Emo's on Thursday (4/30). We'll remind you about that next week, but for now, check out an interview with band member Jason Mendicino. It's quite insightful. Follow the jump for full interview with Jason from Pretty & Nice. ATH: You guys [...]
DOWNLOAD: The Big Big Bucks, "Arsenal Complements Wardrobe" (mp3) Fresh-faced Allston foursome THE BIG BIG BUCKS blend the anvil-heavy blues rock of early Zeppelin with the melodicism of classic pop in a sod-off punk-rock sorta way that would make Kurt Cobain proud. They've been passing around CD-R copies of their debut EP, Rabbit Rabbit (which they recorded with Jack Younger at his Allston analog wonderland Basement 247 Studios , where they're holed up now working on their first full-length), since last summer, but we're [...]
