The day has finally come to celebrate the release of Swedish power ensemble,BIG KIZZ's debut album - Music Is Magic! The 11 track release is out now via Tee Pee Records. Get ready for your new favourite band - BIG KIZZ!
Having recently released the video equivalent of a double A side with two alternate visual accompaniments to their track, Long Distance Call , the full album has now been unleashed on the world. With a solid rock foundation to build upon, BIG KIZZ is formed from their own individual back catalogues and those of rock greats that have gone before them. Call them rock’n’roll connoisseurs; these guys know a mean tune when they play one.
With a core duo of drummer, Axel Sjöberg (ex-Graveyard) and vocalist/guitarist Pontus Westman (Lady Banana), BIG KIZZ have added meat to their bones with the addition of John Hoyles (Spiders, ex-Witchcraft). The classic power trio laid out their wares with the 2017 EP, Eye on You, which set pulses racing around the globe. The debut full length picks up where the EP left rock fans thirsty for more; it delivers hot licks, power pop and that all important, good time garage rock.
Lyrical content deals with universal themes such as unrequited love and - of course - stickin’ it to the man; something we can all get behind. BIG KIZZ have gathered influences from across the musical spectrum, fed them through their ingenious, Phil Spector-esque hit-creating rock machine and spewed out an eclectic swirl of instant heavy hitters. With a nod to the Hellacopters and Shocking Blue, a tip of the hat to Tina Turner and Ray Charles, and a thumbs up to Velvet Underground and Bikini Kill, BIG KIZZ have delivered a masterclass in wearing their influences on their sleeve, but crucially, they fire them out with - what is surely soon to be known as - signature BIG KIZZ flair.
Their tongues may be often found firmly in cheek, but when it comes to having a good time, all of the time, BIG KIZZ mean business.
