Released: February 2025
Postindustrial Hometown Blues (Deluxe Edition)
The digital deluxe edition of Big Special's debut album feat. bonus remixes, live tracks and more!
Words are not to be taken for granted. Especially when they’re being bellowed, full blast, by a broad-shouldered poet with the brimstone fire of a preacher and the honesty and wisdom of a layman, over ground-shaking live beats and between anthemic blasts of melody and rousing riffage.
Postindustrial Hometown Blues is a culmination of songs that channel that voice you hear when you look in the mirror and see your true self – fight songs for a world gone wrong.
