I know what you’re thinking. Yet another buzzy new hardcore band that’s primed to be a a potential next big thing. Don’t write Big Laugh off as another shade of heavy-spewed vitriol against societal norms tailor made for today’s swelling pits, however, as the Milwaukee four-piece inject an excess amount of speed and static as they sprint through the gamut that is their debut full-length, Consume Me. Quite literally, the band’s vocalist Drew lets their unhinged livewires do just that with his muddied shouts bleeding into one with its white noise of burnt up rippers, but in turn, they swallow you as listener whole with them as well across these 10 tracks. If anything, it puts Big Laugh on the more extreme ends of today’s modern hardcore scene, like they’re barely hanging onto the ledge, and it’s exactly where they want to be.

Highlights: “Animosity”, “Shadow Figure”, “The Fall”

Big Laugh’s Consume Me is available now on Revelation Records.
