Wood Chickens – Well Done LP/CD

Wood Chickens is a cowpunk band from Madison, Wisconsin serving a spicy, extra caffeinated blend that draws inspiration from country-western, psychedelia and punk from across the decades. Formed in the tiny town of Milton, Wisconsin by high school comrades Alex Reilly and Griffin Pett, Wood Chickens soon moved to Madison in 2013 to escape the…

White Savage/Football Split LP

The first White Savage show was at the Empty Bottle on NYE 2006 opening for Girl Talk on a night where the saxophone player had to bounce a heckler. Their first show in Austin they were blasting on so many cylinders they blew the power. The first Football show was in Austin at SXSW 2012.…

Dumb Vision – Modern Things LP/CD

Formed in early 2014 in Madison, WI, Dumb Vision quickly carved out a place as one of their hometown’s most exciting DIY bands with their raucous yet deceptively melodic spin on garagepunk. As roommates, and over a few (dozen) cans of Blatz, guitarists Erick Fruehling (Fire Heads) and Chris Joutras (Dharma Dogs, Coordinated Suicides) concocted…

Richard Vain – Night Jammer LP/CD

The first few Richard Vain shows were solo jammers, just Jered, an iPad, a keyboard with a looping pedal, a guitar and sometimes a candle.

Fireheads/Sex Scenes Split LP

Fire Heads from Madison, WI and Sex Scenes from Milwaukee, WI (both cities premier punk rock bands) team up to destroy punk rock with this split LP. Fire Heads bring 6 frenzied, punk rock blasters on Side A to kick the record into hyper drive from needle touchdown. Then Sex Scenes deliver thudding Cthulhu style/Old…

Facility Men “It’s Hard to Disappear” LP/CD

Facility Men began in 2015. Singer Teodor Lazar and drummer Paul Gizzarelli sang and banged in the cerebral, cavemen hardcore force, Plates. Bassist Traci Volker was in the art damaged garage act, the Blowtops, and currently sings and plays guitar with garage swamp stompers, Fatal Figures. Guitarist Matthew Smith dropped out of school to go…

A record label with its birthplace in the seamy underbelly of Buffalo, New York. Spawned from the ashes of the infamous Sanctuary nightclub that was home to many crazy nights and many crazy, messed up bands. Big Neck Records was then suddenly uprooted and moved to Northern Virginia, where it now resides.

The only creed that Big Neck Records lives by is to keep crazy, messed up rock-n-roll going strong!
