Releases so far:

No Agreement (Oct 2011)

A dynamite follow up to the rockin' A Hand of Four Aces, No Agreement is a vintage lounge room listening style album, imbued with a thick pasting of guitar and hammond, layered with thought provoking vocals.The album took us a while, but we are rapt in the result. We peaked at 24 tracks at some stage, and whittled that down to the best 10. We recorded a lot at Steve's studio (Uralla) over three or four years, and road tested the recordings, played with the harmonies and the beats. We had help along the way from Marcel Pusey (London) and Jim Moginie we begged for a little help.. Just when we thought it was nearly there we took it to Mixmasters and strapped ourselves in for the ride with Mick Wordley. The main thing that Mick did was strip the sounds back to their raw basics, and this worked for most of the songs. The ones it didn't work for has lots of Steve's electronicy bits in, so we reverted back to the demo in some instances..i.e. Bringing it On. The vocal recording was great with mick. He got more out of me than I thought I had, and I really enjoyed the experience. Mick D also had a ball with all the guitar sounds he could get. It all came together in some very late nights, where Mick W and everyone seemed willing to keep at it till the wee hours, trying to get it just so. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

A Hand of Four Aces (Feb 2006)

"A hand of Four Aces", was full of sonic guitar strength, and with the help of producer Craig Lewis (Kaleidoscope) shows off the bands capability. "A hand of four aces" was recorded and mixed in just one week, but with a band working together and adrenalin riding high the results speak for themselves. The five track EP covers ecological, desert and experiential themes, and blends them together with the thick paste of guitar, bass and drums.

Wastelands (April 2002)

Written in 2001, the thirteen track album crosses the boundaries of Rock and Country and was the opening paragraph for the band. The band was finding it's feet in this exploration, and in doing so began setting its direction. Many songs from the album are still in the live set.

This is what Stephen Morgan from 3D Radio and 'Incision' magazine wrote about Wastelands... "In the tradition of great Australian bands like The Reels, Midnight Oil and The Triffids, Big Room has managed to create their own brand of classic rock, adding just a hint of darkness.
From the crooning balladry of 'Istanbul' and 'Downstairs Cellar', to the straight up rock of 'No Recovery' and 'Commercial Wheels', Wastelands proves Big Room is as versatile and talented as they are entertaining, serving up a unique brand of alternative rock with a distinctly Australian flavour.
Recorded in the rural surrounds of Orroroo, Big Room take you on a long and dark journey into the very heart of Australia. Full of sweeping guitars and vivid imagery, Wastelands is refined oz-rock with all the sincerity and none of the cheese."
