Bringing post-punk back into the spotlight, Brooklyn band Big Bliss has released their incredible new single, “Contact.”
Since their formation in 2015, brothers Tim and Cory Race have honed a shimmering yet energetic sound that draws inspiration from icons like The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen. “Contact” explores the longing for deeper communication with another person, supported by powerful, sparkling melodies. Its relentless tempo and catchy, sing-along chorus make this single a guaranteed favorite at their live performances.
Despite being a relatively new band, Big Bliss has made a significant mark with over 150 shows across five tours, earning the title of “NYC’s Hardest Working Band of 2017” from Oh My Rockness. This impressive achievement bodes well for their growth as a talented trio that UK fans are sure to embrace, especially given the rich legacy of post-punk in the country during the 70s and 80s. Big Bliss possesses the potential to lead the resurgence of this genre in the 21st century, and with their debut LP slated for mid-2018, this year could prove to be a defining moment for one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the States in recent memory.
