The sound: Raw, melodic indie rock
The band: Singer/songwriter/guitarist John Edds, 25; drummer/keyboardist Adam White, 32 Their words: “We're sort of loud and obnoxious, yet pleasant and poppy. We always say we're music for lovers who hate each other,” White said. “Our songs tend to be love songs that are really about the negative aspects of love.” Edds added, “We adhere more to the indie punk aesthetic a lot of times. Our shows, at best, are kind of wild affairs. We like to have a lot of physical fun. I jump around a lot. We usually end up having to repair some equipment.” Their records: “Putting The ______ in ______” (2005), “Part of You” (2006), “Something Disappeared” (due in May) Where to see them: North St. Mary's strip hotspots like the Limelight and the Mix, or Ruta Maya Riverwalk and the Wiggle Room. They toured the UK in May 2006. The Web: www.bigsoy.com, www.myspace.com/bigsoy The 210 take: Definitely worth checking out live. Edds and White formed the band in 2003 and added a bassist in 2005, but now they're back to being a duo; White fills out the sound by playing drums with one hand and keyboard with the other. And it works. Their songs are smarter and more literate than the average indie rock band, but they're also just poppy enough that you'll want to sing along. Give them a listen at 10 p.m. Thursday, March 29, on 91.7 KRTU FM's “Live From Studio A.” -- Jessica Belasco | Contributor |
