Big Special shares new single ‘SLUGLIFE’ a month ahead of their UK headline tour. Taking their explosive live energy on the road throughout February & March.
“A song about living low to the ground and going slow. Feeling guilt for needing a bit of time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It’s about working through the self-hate that can come through hard times,” says Joe Hicklin on ‘SLUGLIFE’.
With no signs of slowing down, Big Special share new single ‘SLUGLIFE’ – a gritty burst of energy, capturing Joe Hicklin and Callum Maloney at their most unfiltered. An almost relentless run of new music since their surprise second album NATIONAL AVERAGE., this track stands as a vivid reminder that the duo aren’t easing up for a second – premiered via BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq.
