Do You Remember How to Rock and Roll?

New music with new sounds is what you can expect from BC and the Big Rig’s sophomore album, Do You Remember How to Rock and Roll, which was officially released January 13. The band, which is celebrating its second year together this month, doesn’t want to be confined to a certain genre or sound. They want to explore all the musical possibilities that tickle their fancy. Their first album, Day Late and a Dollar Short, came out in September 2015 and was mostly built around the “shred dirt” kind of sound, a mix of southern rock and red dirt. However this new album clearly breaks out of that box and brings us back to a good old fashioned rock and rock vibe.

“Our musical influences on all 5 of us are so different, so it’s really a lot of everybody’s influences finally coming to the forefront of things,” explained Brandon Clark. “I can hear so many different bands that have influenced all 5 of us on the new record.”

The band is made up of Clark on guitar and vocals, Sam Naifeh on lead guitar, Ryan McCall on lead guitar, James Purdy on drums and Chris Bell on bass guitar. Every member of the band also sings and gives backing vocals, as well as collaborates to write all of the songs. Each of these musicians brings great talent and skill to the band, each one a phenomenal musician in their own right. Which means when mixed all together it just makes the sweet sounds swell exponentially. They all had equal input in to the entire album, helping to write and create the songs as a whole unit instead of as individuals.
