ok BIG ZIT is probably the best band on earth (feat bassist/singer of CONEHEADS, who is some kind of alien sent to 2015 to shame us all, and drummer of the superb RAW NERVE)

The guitar player has my haircut from when I was 8. Is it ironic retro chic? Is this part of the current fake retard "mutant" trend? Or just a bad, but honest, haircut?
I guess this will be an unpopular opinion, but every time I try to give this band another try, I just end up listening to Bad Brains instead. Which is a shame, because Big Zit is my favorite band name in recent memory.
i dig big zit....but i will agree with you about the whole fake mutant thing...the real freaks don't need a goddamn banner (not in reference to anyone discussed hear per se, just the stupid trend)
I should say, I love Lumpy and most of the Spotted Race stuff, and probably other "mutant" bands. I'm not even opposed to pretending to be a retarded person, but this schtick has pretty much run it's course, right?
Richie, I've only heard the Big Zit demo, so maybe the 7" is different, but I think you're nuts. The Bad Brains thing definitely goes beyond the voice. It's not necessarily a bad thing, they do it pretty well (obviously lack the legit musical chops of BB) and sound great, I just always end up wanting to listen to Bad Brains instead and not giving a shit about Big Zit.
