Big D & The Kids Table

Big D is a third wave ska/punk band that formed in 1995. The Boston natives formed their Fork In Hand Records and released their first album Shot By Lammi. In 1999 Big D & The Kids Table was signed to Mark Park's Asian Man Records and their second album Good Luck was released. The band also won Outstanding Ska Band at the Boston Music Awards in 1999. A few years later in 2002 the band's third album The Gypsy Hill LP came out.In 2003 the band released another album on their own label called Porch Light. As 2004 rolled around, Big D released How It Goes and was signed to Springman Records. The fourth album Strictly Rude was released. In 2009 Fluent In Stroll was released. And we can't forget the EP's that were released in between the studio albums; Live EP in 1998, Gypsy Hill EP in 2002, Salem Girls in 2005, Noise Complaint in 2007, Wicked Core Christmas in 2009, and 2 Songs 1 Download in 2010. And just announced on March 1, 2011 Big D & The Kids Table is now in the studio working on their newest album The Damned, The Dumb and the Delirious.

If you're tired of listening to the same songs being played on the radio and want a little more excitement go and listen to Big D & The Kids Table. I highly suggest the songs Noise Complaint, L.A.X, My Girlfriend's On Drugs, and If We Want To. With each passing year Big D's albums just keep getting better and I just can't help myself by listening to them all the time. Big D & The Kids Table was the first ska band I actually heard and fell in love with. I've always known about the ska genre but I never really liked it until i heard Noise Complaint a few years ago. If you're into music and looking for something new, this is where it's at.
