Dusting off their instruments, Big Mother Gig honed in on their grunge '90s roots, bottled them up and brought them straight into 2018 for their new single, Low Payout, available to stream or download now on all your favorite digital music platforms worldwide (click on the image for links).
Teaming up with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' front-man, Dicky Barrett, the single is a guitar-heavy anthem for the ages.
"There's a bite and a crunch to this song both musically and lyrically that really appeals to me," says Barrett. "[I] was honored to be asked and happy to be a part of [Low Payout]."
While the track thumps and pulses with sonic energy, the lyrics unearth the apprehension and agitation felt by the country's working class. "The song is an ode to the working class and how they inevitably have bowed out of the political process out of frustration and anger. The rich keep getting richer and the poor are getting drunk, as Paul Westerberg once said," explains lead singer Richard Jankovich. Barrett's gritty tone compliments the prominent grunge bass line found throughout the song. The two instruments, Barrett's vocals and Micah Lopez's bass, push one another's tones to their highest possible caliber.
Low Payout wil be included in Big Mother Gig's upcoming LP, No More Questions. "Songs with an edge, a punk attitude, and heartfelt songwriting," promises Jankovich!
