It's the Supersound

There is nothing more exciting than finding an unsigned band that’s making music that I enjoy. The guys of Bigger and Better Things hail from Montreal, Quebec. Their pop punk sound is a sound that I have grown to love throughout my high school years; a genre of music I still indulge in with no regrets. With the band’s growing fan-base – having close to 2,000 fans on Facebook and close to 48,000 friends on MySpace – Bigger and Better Things show no signs of stopping anytime soon. I was privileged enough to connect with Logan from the band via MySpace and email whom provided me with more information about the band.

What is the inspiration for the band’s sound and lyrics?
Logan: There’s a lot of inspiration for lyrics. Girls, hunger for success, elitism, social situations and observations of all kind, partying, movies, other bands/artists just to name a few exterior sources. A lot of inspiration comes within, such as self reflection, over-analyzing everything, moderate paranoia at times. The inspiration for the sound of our music comes from years and years of listening to punk rock. It’s embedded in us. Lately, that’s been changing a lot though.

Are there any plans for an EP and/or tour?
Logan: Our E.P. titled You Wouldn’t Get It is going to be out sometime mid-April, independently. It was actually planned to be released in November but due to many unavoidable factors, we had to postpone the release date a billion times. We’re throwing a release show around that time but no following tour will ensue.
** According to one of their blog posts from September 2009, their EP is recorded and produced by Paul Leavitt. Leavitt has done work for bands such as All Time Low, Moneen, The Bled, From Autumn to Ashes, Circa Survive, The Dangerous Summer and Senses Fail.

How long have you guys been a band? How did the band come together?
Logan: The band has been together for about two years. Ironically the way most of us came together is through a mutual friend that used to be in the band and then got kicked out. One day, I was hanging out with Andrew (ex-vocals) at a mall and from a distance he spotted Luc, pulled him over and said “this guy has to be in the band”. Also, Andrew called me and said “Oh my God! Angel’s Catching Bullets (ex-band) broke up! We need to take their drummer, Matt!”. Once we got Andrew out of the picture, mainly due to some unresolved issues he had going on in his head, he sent me a Facebook message. The message said, “I found your perfect singer, check the video”. Inside the message contained a short clip of Mike, our current vocalist, doing an acoustic rendition of a Boys like Girls song. The choice was made.

Are you guys in school?
Logan: We are all currently out of school, though some members are choosing to resume shortly.
