Big Heet Share New Single “Failure At Work” via Uproxx

“On A Wire” Out October 20th via
Exploding In Sound Records’ Tape Club

New Show Announced with Speedy Ortiz and Tera Melos

Big Heet, the Tallahassee quartet led by former Ex-Breathers guitarist/vocalist David Settle, are sharing their new single “Failure at Work” via Uproxx. Taken from the band’s upcoming full-length debut, On A Wire, due out October 20th via the Exploding In Sound Records Tape Club, the track offers a different look into the explosive post-punk explored throughout the album than lead single “Flint“. Where the former single was indebted to the art-punk of Devo and their everlasting devolved influences, “Failure at Work” is slow burner that works off an extended intro to develop into’s own tangled web of razor sharp post-punk.

Uproxx called the single, “a slow-burning track that exceeds five minutes in its build toward a thrashing climax where Settle’s screams are masked by fuzzy guitars and distorted bass. Suddenly, the sound abruptly breaks, there is silence, and then a more toned back version of Big Heet re-enters to take the song full circle.”

Big Heet’s David Settle added:

“I know so many people of my generation whose lives have been stagnated by student debt and mindless jobs with no growth and an economy wrecked by previous generations. I found myself completely depressed at a dead-end job that I only stayed at because it financially supported personal dreams that led nowhere in the end. Often I wonder if I would’ve been better off preparing for a more successful and only slightly less shitty career with way less personal gratification. What kind of choice is that?”

“Flint,” a song that rages against the hubris and destruction brought on by a capitalist society, one that violates basic human rights for the sake of profit margins. It’s a rager of a song, and one that demands repeat listens. – David Anthony (Post-Trash)
