For BIG SPECIAL – Joe Hicklin (vocals) and Callum Moloney (drums) – their sound comes from vital, frustrated young working-class voices that are not always heard on the scale they deserve. It’s a frustration that emerges through a voice that is at times rough and raw, but at other times sensitive, desperate and soulful. Hicklin’s fiery voice ranges from profound punk cries and jagged spoken word to elevated soul and back again, taken from their predecessors, crushed under the weight of history and re-adapted for a new generation. It is intense, raw and angry at a world without options, the thinning of common understanding between England’s social classes, the frustration with repeating cycles and the feeling of watching your own life unfold from the outside.

Mye_Taai are a rave club punk duo+1. Delivering a bracing dose of reality with words, beats, poetry powered by grim basement club tunes.
They tell the story through dialogues, rants and commentary filled with embittered observations about politics, injustice, the real working life of today of today, capitalism, society, the art/music culture and all the subjects discussed at the bar or in a public The Hague coffee house with mordacity and a right laugh.
Observations of real talk with bits of their own.
