BIGSTRONGRBRUTE started as a low-rent casio-punk solo project. It morphed into a mystic acoustic pop band with choirs and trumpets. The band has been playing together and solo for over two years now in Brisbane, Australia. Fronted by Paul Donoughue with a rotating cast of characters, Big Strong Brute have supported Mt. Eerie [USA] and Tiny Vipers [USA] and played bars, parties, clubs, warehouses and shop fronts in Australia and the USA.

You Were Always Right
rating:  4/5

You Were Always Right
rating:  4/5
A really interesting, well-constructued, thoughtful pop song. The horn arrangements are great as well; it gives the tune a little something extra.
