Having gotten their start in 1996, Bigwig bring out an aggressive dose of sarcasm to their East Coast shores of New Jersey. Under the influence of Rich Kids on LSD and Propaghandi -- minus the anarcho-politics -- members Tom (vocals/guitar), John (bass), Josh (guitar), and Dan (drums) didn't waste anytime with the releases. After a handful of compilation tracks and two EPs, their first full-length, unMerry Melodies, was released in 1997 courtesy of Fearless Records. Two years and some heavy touring followed before their follow-up, Stay Asleep, came out in 1999.
