Big Life The Cost Of Progress Punk Rock Theory

Big Life

The Cost Of Progress

Detroit hardcore-adjacent punk band Big Life (f/ members of Black Dahlia Murder, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Extra Arms, and more) are releasing the very pissed off “The Cost of Progress” EP on August 1st via Setterwind Records. Check out the video for new single ‘Out Of Breath’ below.

“The Cost of Progress” is a record searching for answers that only comes up with more questions. It paints a picture of the real dystopian nightmare we are currently living through, and tackles everything from corporate greed and the dangers of AI to the terrifying reality of our climate disaster. Real cheery stuff…but it also fucking ROCKS.
