notes

This is our first album and this being a learning process, there are some things we may have done differently and some things we are pretty proud of. For a band (in its current formation) that has only been together for a short time, actually putting out an album was a huge step. There is often a misconception on what it takes to be a successful band. Getting together to create and play music is the easiest part. You’re doing what you love. When you have musicians as talented as we do, you often come up with some great stuff. The difficult parts are battling addictions, egos, incarcerations, girl problems, low times, slow times, and over looking the general negative bull shit trying to stay together.

That being said, after all the struggles, this is our Album Lessons. "If they were easy they'd be forgotten." We were on a limited budget so we couldn’t really waste time in the studio recording every song. Instead, we decided to choose songs which would highlight all of our influences. The result was an album with a mixture of styles including Rock, Reggae, Drum & Bass, Funk, Acid Jazz, Ska, Punk, Hip Hop, Go-Go, Jungle, Trip Hop and probably some other stuff. We felt each song gives a glimpse of us as a group. That’s the Big Hurt. 6 different individuals with many different personalities that have remained together long enough to put out an album.

Thanks for your love and support:
Billy Martin, Will Sutton, Tim Johnson, Matt Costello, Jamie Kelley, and Frank Kanady, - The Big Hurt.

  • a great find
    author: John Darius

    I was thoroughly impressed with the diversity and quality of the songs I heard. Not only is the musicianship amazing but most of the songs were radio worthy when the two rarley mesh. I found myself getting angry that I couldn't hear past 2 min snippets. So angry in fact, I put lessons on my credit card. Well done. A great find.

  • off the mofo hook
    author: Bobbie

    this cd by far is one of my most picked out of my cd case (mind the fact that i have 6 cd cases). the music is easy listening for anyone of any age but not boring enough to lose your attention. it is catchy yet awesome and never once has there come a time when the hairs on my body have failed to raise to the sound that penatrates the ear. there is more to be told but this is supposed to be a short review right, but only listening to the cd can finish the review. MUSIC IS MY LIFE, MY ESCAPE AND MY REASONING

    author: Emma

    I got this cd at the cd release. It's very good. I haven't listened to much else since I got it. The next time I see the band I'm going to know each song word for word. My fav would have to be Hooligans.
