Melbourne’s Big League play a sunny style of Australian jangle pop that is infectious in its hookiness, daring you to not try to pogo like you're young, free, and in a sweaty, hot Australian pub.

In the midst of the urgent rhythm and high jangle the lyrics question what it means to be in a band as the quarter-life crisis rage: “And you try to write the greatest song about love / But it always turns into a song about drugs”. It’s passionate, a little wistful, and very loud. The most obvious comparison is fellow Australian indie rockers Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, but there’s definitely some Superchunk and maybe Parquet Courts influences mixed in. Overall, a damn fun single.

Their new EP Windanswagger is out now.
