Hey!!

We're really excited that our new record is coming out on May 4th.

Big Scary Monsters will be releasing our new 6 track EP 'The Pasture, The Oil' which we recorded in January with Nick Kinnish (Jonny Truant, Youves, Architects) and mastered by Alan Douches
(Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Fallout Boy).

The EP comes in a lovely little package designed by Mr Gordo and you can preorder the new record from our
online store or click the cover below



What people have to say so far:

'Stunning Stuff'
8/10 - Rock Sound
'
anyone else looking for a band with energy, passion, enthusiasm and a naughty streak...well look no further' 3.5/5 - Punktasic
'
a brain boggling, heel hammering, good little ride' 8/10 - Die Shellsuit Die

‘The Pasture, The Oil’ is a fidgety jigsaw of sounds, styles and volume - Moderate Rock

This is a record that sounds huge, a record that was meant to be played loud and a record that rocks in a ‘massive wall of sound washing over you’ way - Tasty Fanzine



To back the release we're going on tour. We'll be doing the majority of the dates with the awesome The James Cleaver Quintet, which we're very happy about. We'll be visiting Ireland for a few shows with Blakfish too, which will be awesome, and they're also joining us for the Bham and London release gigs too.
