Big Band Of Boom set out to redefine everything you know about heavy guitars and big-band brass. Utilising huge guitar riffs with a authentic horn section, comprised of a mixture of Birmingham’s finest acts, the Big Band of Boom continue to transcend on multiple levels.
Known for their electrifying live-show, Big Band Of Boom have already graced some of the most prestigious festival stages throughout Europe, including Boomtown, Twinwood, Camp Bestival and Shambala. New single ‘Energy Vampire’ follows previous releases ‘Big Bad Voodoo’, ‘M.I.A.,’ and ‘Back To The Circus’, which have impressively surpassed over 100,000 streams combined.
Energy Vampire
Birmingham’s Rock 12-piece, Big Band Of Boom, have today shared their brand-new single, ‘Energy Vampire’, via Ragtime Records. Pure fun from start to finish, ‘Energy Vampire’, mixes catchy, singalong hooks with a tongue-in-cheek message.
Speaking of the new single, the band share, “Energy Vampire is about that guy at a party who drains the vibe. Lurking in the corners, talking your ear off about crypto, or insisting everyone listen while they get their acoustic guitar. If you don’t know an energy vampire then maybe the vampire is you…”
Talking about the recording process, the band continue, “We recorded the drums with James Bragg at Propagation House, where one of the rooms makes drums sound absolutely massive. Getting the horns sounding right is essential to our sound, we track all 6 players as a section in big room to get the vibe, and then each musicians individually for the power. Guitars and vocals were all done from our little studio in Birmingham, which we have christened ‘Big Little Studios, because its a tiny room, but we make things sound huge.”while they get their acoustic guitar….
The track kicks off with a mega horn riff that takes inspiration from the energy of the Toxicity-era System Of A Down… with a hint of Rachmaninoff thrown in for good measure. After adding a SOAD cover to our festival set, we found that the soaring melodies really hit hard when supported by horns!
With catchy, singalong hooks accompanying a tongue-in-cheek message delivered by virtuoso players smashing out mega riffs, Energy Vampire is pure fun from start to finish!
