• Track Listing

A timely collision of 21st century Punk Rock and 1980s new wave, complete with vintage synthesizer licks, Big City Rock's self titled debut is a catchy collection of songs that recall early U2, without the messianic overtones. BCR's only objective is to conquer the dance floor. The commercial sounding 'All of the Above' is classic stadium Rock with a contemporary twist, and 'I Believe in You' is big box romance, with chiming guitars and a crowd pleasing chorus. The ready for video 'Human' is a frantic commentary on modern life that conjures the band's Los Angeles home base, while, harking back to U2, the anthemic 'Touch the Horizon' closes the album on a crescendo of hope. Wea/Atlantic. 2006.
