A charged mix of hard and delicate, the Black Country duo’s second album teeters on the edge of something truly brilliant

Regardless of standing on the political spectrum, there’s no denying that the current state of the world is a dire one, and lately there’s been no shortage of bands willing to call it out – from the trending Kneecap and Bob Vylan to more established acts like Idles or Sleaford Mods. Black Country duo Big Special now follow in their footsteps, their lyrics and themes tackling issues from class warfare and mental health to addiction and working jobs you hate.
