BIG SPECIAL address the struggle of working class artists on "BUTCHER’S BIN"
BIG SPECIAL have shared the brand new track "BUTCHER'S BIN", as the latest preview of their debut album, POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES.
The brand new release from BIG SPECIAL follows on from the album's lead single, "DUST OFF / START AGAIN", and arrives with news of the band's biggest London headline show to date at The Forum in November, as well as a tour in support of Placebo through South America in March.
"BUTCHER'S BIN is about class awareness and the realisation that the working classes are used as nothing but a commodity and set against each other at every turn, their existence trivialised and struggles denied; the off cuts tossed to feed the rabid hounds of neoliberalism," says lead singer Joe Hicklin.
"The song is about all of this from the perspective of declining mental health whilst trying to make a living as an artist and to break through in a time and place where a life In art is seen as a luxury granted to those of a higher social class or a fruitless pursuit for idealistic fools," he continues.
POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES is set for release on 10 May via SO Recordings, and is available to pre-order now.
