THE BEAST YOU ARE ARRIVES APRIL 12 VIA JOYFUL NOISE RECORDINGS
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES THROUGH EARLY SUMMER
Big Business, the LA-based duo featuring Jared Warren and Coady Willis, have shared a second track from their forthcoming album, The Beast You Are (April 12, Joyful Noise Recordings)
“’Heal The Weak’ is a musical curse on those who seek to take advantage of people of lesser means,” said Jared Warren. “A clarion call of warning to the crust-fisted oppressor.”
The song premiere arrives as the band is in the midst of a North American trek with Clutch, playing tomorrow night at the Pub Station in Billings, Mont. Big Business also recently announced a month of tour dates with Sleep, kicking off on May 27 in Las Vegas.
The Beast You Are marks the return of Big Business to its core two-piece incarnation. “It’s just better. We work faster, and we know what we’re both going for. It gives us more room to be weirder in certain aspects and try different things. It makes sense because that’s how we established ourselves in the beginning and how we learned to write songs together, it was just the two of us. Coming back to that lineup felt natural,” explains Willis.
Pre-orders for the thirteen-song album, including vinyl packages, are available now via (joyfulnoi.se/BigBizBeast) with both “Let Them Grind” (https://youtu.be/XIsyTxgSxwo) and “Heal The Week” available as instant downloads.
