What is experimental rock, anyways? I’m Into Life Records, the LA/Kingston based label, is hunting for an answer, exploring every -wave and no-wave at the same time, building community along the way.

Good Big is a debut record laden with meticulous riffs, built on rhythm and supplemented by a constant drive. The label describe it as “top-notch egg punk,” with nods to Minutemen and Suburban Lawns. It stops, starts, and speeds up. With a fade out, you’re able to catch your breath before being catapulted into the next track.
