Big Muff Brigade to Release Pi Nov. 29; “Dead Inside” Streaming
I mean, obviously when you call your band something like Big Muff Brigade, you’re speaking to a niche audience. As odd as it might seem to those in the heavy underground, I’m fairly certain that more than 99 percent of the world’s general population have never heard of the Big Muff pedal (let alone its various iterations), and that kind of puts Big Muff Brigade in a position of having to explain themselves forever, doesn’t it?
Unless at some point the band decide they don’t give a shit if anyone who happens to encounter their moniker thinks they have giant pubes — which, sure enough, is notion from which the pedal got its name — every time out, as they do below, they’ll need to namedrop Electro-Harmonix all the way through. Maybe a sponsorship deal could happen? I don’t know how much promo the Big Muff needs.
The Basque-based outfit’s debut, Pi — properly written with the Greek letter π, but this site’s infrastructure always fudges special characters, so I do my best — will be released late in November on Argonauta Records, and lead single “Dead Inside” backs up the muffy talk with tonal density. Tracklisting and album info came down the PR wire, and “Dead Inside” is down at the bottom if you want to dig in to what Big Muff Brigade have going on:

The stoner-rock band from Basque Country (Spain) Big Muff Brigade, formed in 2023, composed their first full-length album “π” with the objective of reuniting the highest number of sub-styles within stoner- rock to offer an album with different colors. Whether doom, metal, blues or the most rock and punk variants of stoner-rock are in this album.
The message of the album brings a pessimistic vision of today’s society in which attention time doesn’t exceed the 30 seconds of an Instagram reel and traditional values such as friendship, loyalty or desire for knowledge have been lost.
“π”, the name of the album, comes in allusion to that catalog of different colors that the band has tried to reunite in it. “π” is a figure with infinite numbers, just like the different sub-styles within stoner-rock. It also carries a tribute to the legendary Electro-Harmonix Big Muff PI fuzz-pedal, which the band has special admiration for and which gives the band its name.
The album (which took just three months to compose thanks to such a high level of complicity between the five members of the band) was produced by its guitar-player Mikel Becerra before entering the studio with the band’s own means to later be recorded, mixed and mastered at the Koba studios (Bilbao, Spain) by the producer Xanpe between the months of August and November of the 2023.
