Lessons, the debut release from The Big Hurt melds elements of Alternative Rock, Reggae, Acid Jazz. Hip Hop, Funk, Drum-n-Bass, Ska, Punk, Latin and Go-Go. Recorded at Waterford Digital in Pasadena, MD with producer Frank Marchand (Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, Toadies and The All Mighty Senators), The Big Hurt went into the studio with a batch of songs reflecting each of the band member’s diverse musical influences. The album’s 10 songs range from heavy guitar driven rock to Acid Jazz melodies over Jungle and Hip-Hop beats to break neck Punk/Ska and Reggae interludes. Although touching on many different musical styles, the result is a singular sound that is at the same time musically complex and refreshingly accessible.
This is Lessons. “If they were easy, they’d be forgotten.”
Lyrics by: William A. Martin Jr.
Music by: The Big Hurt
Well I feel enough inside and you knew it.
I found my way. With them saying yeah.
I found my way.
And my feet is in the fire and through it,
I found my hate, with them.
For the life of me that they owe
where in the light I’m senseless
if the one that sets you free
I’ll make you throw it.
- and it seems with all I know
I don’t have a lot to say.
For the life of me that they owe
where in the light I’m senseless
if the one that sets you free
I’ll make you throw it.
- and it seems with all I know
I don’t have a lot to say.
For the life of me that they owe
where in the light I’m senseless
if the one that sets you free
I’ll make you throw it.
- and it seems with all I know
I don’t have a lot to say.
