HardLore: BIG BOY (Real Bay S***)

We're joined in-person at HardLore HQ by the Biggest Boy himself, Brandon from BIG BOY. The Bay Area of California, and specifically San Jose is home to several of the absolute best and brightest modern bands carrying the torch for hardcore music around the world, and Big Boy is next up for world domination. After releasing their 4th EP ("Love Songs") in 6 years via Daze, Brandon joins us to talk about the origin of the band, RBS, his preference for music made after 2008, the SPLASH ZONE, the unexpected growth of Big Boy/what it means for the future of the band and much much more. We had a blast getting inside the mind of one of the most naturally charismatic frontmen in hardcore today. Enjoy.
