Biography

Since their start in 1995, Bigwig have delivered an aggressive dose of sarcasm to the East Coast shores of New Jersey. Under the influence of Rich Kids on LSD and Propagandhi -- minus the anarcho-politics -- members Tom Petta (vocals/guitar), John (bass), Josh (guitar), and Dan (drums) didn't waste any time with their initial releases. Coming to the attention of Fearless Records through Strung Out's Jim Cherry, the band appeared on a handful of compilations and two EPs before their first full-length, Un-Merry Melodies, was released in 1997 courtesy of Fearless. Two years and some heavy touring followed before the follow-up, Stay Asleep, came out on Kung Fu Records in 1999. The guys returned to Fearless for August 2001's An Invitation to Tragedy, a faster, heavier album mixed by Ryan Greene (Lagwagon, No Use For A Name). Numerous member changes (interim members Jeremy Hernandez and Max Béchard went on to form Near Miss together) and injuries plagued the band, causing little touring and a five-year gap between albums. With a permanent lineup finally in place -- Petta, Zak (bass), Jett Powers (guitar), and Keith (drums) -- Bigwig released the muscular, and long overdue, Reclamation in February 2006. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi

    Lyrics
    I've been so blind not to appreciate what fed me and what dressed me. A life can't be represented by what it's worth. So do your part as long as you're on this earth. My earth, your earth, our earth. Alternatives to a learned nature have been made accessible. A life can't represented by what it's worth. So do your part as long as you're on this earth. My earth, you're earth, our earth. Now this concept seems so insane how people can be so inhumane. I've done it but I realize your killing too so open your eyes. Do as much as you can live and let live. Learn as much as you can live and let live. Fight as hard as you can live and let live. Be as strong as you can live and let live.

    Lyrics
    So you're sick and you feel like you've got to stay in line. I keep the questions in my mind the time is changing with the tide. It's never too late don't put it all aside. Don't become the one you hate. So sink or swim you make the call. Give way to one give way to them all. And they'll all come crumbling down. All the times that no one heard your voice. All those times did you know you really had a choice. Don't sell yourself short. Your better off without it you're better than before. Now this mess becomes too much at a time. It's always on my mind and there's not a place to hide. Don't let it go don't put it all aside, to watch everything collide.

    Lyrics
    For so long we slave under the gun
    And this war inside is never won
    I have always sworn that I won't conform
    I refuse to suffer anymore
    The calm before the storm

    Lyrics
    Well, I'd club a baby seal, But you know I won't ingest it. I'd tell my vegan girlfriend "You know I wouldn't suggest it All my shoes are leather And I don't care whether or not All the cute little animals were to be shot!

    Lyrics
    I see these people everyday. These zombie like lab rats just wasting away. And what I see it's not for me. Your really not living you're barely existing. I'm trying hard to think for myself. And I won't waste away. I'm living for today. Your rules were meant to break. And I won't waste away. Your really not living you're barely existing. And luxury is what you make it. It's what you enjoy and what you take for granted. I can't agree with how we're acting. There's too much going on and there's not enough reaction. But I've been there myself I've been there before. You can't close your eyes its not gonna go away. The world won't stop turning without you. You're rules were meant to break. Your really not living your barely existing. I won't waste away.
