Artist description ...BIG VIOLIN'S MUSIC FEATURED ALL SEASON LONG ON MTV'S REAL WORLD....Big Violin combines elements of many influences to create a dark, poppysoundscape that's truely unique. Some would call it dark,groovy, classic-space-rock"Big Violin situates itself well on the "art" side of rock, in the same way that Lou Reed or Roxy Music were not merely making rock, but pop.Their sound, over-all has a defininte sheen, like something shinny and black, so that it glistens darkness. Every little bit of the music gives you the agitating sense of reality gone wrong, the glorification of the mundane and the self-aborbption that makes modern music and the modern world what it is."-No Cover Magizine
