Somos No Joke is the new EP from Big Quarters. Laughing while grooving
against the grain of the industry, over no-nonsense production. Brandon Allday
& Medium Zach deliver 8 tracks of honest and heartfelt lyricism over layers of
off-the-wall soundscapes, distorted guitars - drums that punch in the chest and
slap in the face.
The self-produced duo approach crafting beats reminiscent of classic hip-hop
production (Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang, Gangstarr) sampling dollar bin drum breaks
and telling the story of their experience as Mexican-Americans in the great
Midwest. Finding their voice in music, working with youth in Minneapolis, and
becoming men -- they've put it all on the table each time out.
In February, following the release of Big Quarters' third album Party Like A
Young Commie, Atmosphere invited Big Quarters to join the Welcome to
Minnesota Tour, putting their 10 years of honing the live show to the test in front
of thousands. The overwhelming response- crowds nodding, jumping, singing
along - is captured in the music video for Big Quarters' "New Plateau."
With the follow-up, Somos No Joke, Big Quarters capture the rugged 90's
breakbeat influence (Never Felt Better), the beautiful struggle (Work, Love Is
Always Free) and hometown collaborations with guest appearances from Sims
(Doomtree), I.B.E and Longshot. Somos No Joke Drops November 23rd
