A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Big Business

  • big business

L.A.-via-Seattle drums-plus-bass metal machine Big Business toured with Tool back in 2007—but before that, the band, featuring former members of Karp and The Murder City Devils, took part in an even bigger merger by joining the official roster of grunge godfathers Melvins. Big Business aspired to something resembling Melvins’ mix of heaviness and whimsy on 2005’s Head For The Shallow, so combining forces was a no-brainer. But the trio is still active on its own, having toured behind 2007’s pulverizing (and deceptively song-oriented) Here Come The Waterworks and recording the follow-up release Mind The Drift.
