巨大的轟鳴 2nd Demo 曲目公佈，本週開賣！

1. 你是豬...

成團於2012年春天，秋天旋即解散。 那年，莫名其妙萬念俱灰的主唱說： 「大家不要玩團了，回家好好做人。」 從此成為一個流傳於台北樂團圈少數人口中的美談。 2013年夏天，做了半年的人，我們又不沮喪地跑出來了，帶著跟溫泉、 女友、青蛙與台語發音的蛇相關的歌曲跑出來了。 我們的現場很好看。哇靠，很好看。 「這個團，到底是什麼也許大家都還不是很明白，但最明白的是這些都將成為留在你耳朵裡巨大的轟鳴。」 來自 八十八顆芭樂籽的強尼 這樣描述我們，但是到底甚麼是巨大的轟鳴？應該也不是太吵的那種，不會讓你留下甚麼生理後遺症。有人擔心我(們)都怪有點噁噁的， 但是你可能懂我(們)在噁甚麼，所以你必必必定會喜歡我們。 60's psych-jams, funked-up grooves and some garage-punk thrown in for the hell of it! Kaohsiung's The Gigantic Roar has selected a moniker that is very apt in describing their sound. No, it's not a bunch of screaming, guttural vocals and distorted guitars, but rather a seamless melding of 60's psychedelia, 70's era funk and 90's revivalist garage/punk/blues which results in a huge, cohesive 'roar'. Citing influences such as The Doors and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, this young group has made quite a splash over the course of their brief existence. Playing their first gig when they were still high school lads, they immediately proved themselves to be musically mature beyond their years. This maturity has already allowed them to be invited to every major music festival in Taiwan including the Formoz, Megaport and Rainbow Bay Festivals. Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Leo has tremendous poise, charisma, magnetism and confidence onstage. Try to imagine Robert Plant, Jim Morrison and James Brown all morphed into one person, and you will get an idea of what he is all about. The music itself is riff-based, often utilizing a basic blues progression augmented with lead guitarist Tim's atonal, jazz-flavored chord structures. The rhythm section is comprised of Sam, a classically-trained pianist-turned drummer who absolutely destroys the kit, and bassist Birdy, who drives the songs with very melodic, complex bass lines. The Gigantic Roar is a rarity amongst Taiwanese indie bands for a number of reasons: their musical knowledge and tastes are far removed from what the average musician here appreciates, they refuse to follow any established trends in local music (post-rock, punk, indie-pop), and their lyrics are intelligent, humorous, ironic and twisted all at the same time. Their two-song EP "Suddenly Decided To Go To A Hot Spring" only hints at what this band is capable of in a live setting. I urge you to check them out, at least for wont of something different from the norm. Don Quan, The Mercury Bar 試聽連結： www.indievox.com/giganticroar
