With tastefully fuzzy melodies the band’s poignant and touchingly poetic lyrics stripped bare the pretense that coats too much modern popular music." Tom Murphy, QUEEN CITY SOUNDS AND ART Big Dopes recalls the loose, lighthearted feel of 90s alternative and indie, like Built to Spill and Pavement. Lead songwriter Eddie Schmid uses a playful, conversational baritone to sing through neuroses about long-distance relationships, being a houseguest, and wasting money on busted headphones. In August 2021, the band released "Lovers on the Weekdays," the peppy first single from their sophomore album Destination Wedding, due November 5, 2021. With new music on deck, the band charted its first tour, which will take them through the Midwest and Colorado's Front Range. In 2019, Big Dopes released its debut album Crimes Against Gratitude. It was named one of the best albums of the year by Birdy Magazine, and one of the Top Colorado Albums of 2019 by Colorado Public Radio. SOUR BOY, BITTER GIRL https://sourboybittergirl.bandcamp.com/ Ranging from a solo, singer/songwriter act to a powerhouse-of-sound quintet, the music is as diverse as its members and influences. Benjamin Buttice’s lyrics weave the figurative/metaphorical world of deserts, seas, and wolves with the strife and rebellion of the average working, loving man, that create vivid imagery in a catchy way that is chanted and screamed from the hearts of his avid wolf-army fan base.
