BiG MiSTAKE

hails from the New Britain area of Connecticut. Formed in 1988 with the intention of competing in the Southington Apple Harvest Battle of the Bands.although that show ended in disaster, the founding members of BiG MiSTAKE were compelled to continue on. They developed a brand of hardcore uniquely their own. Utilizing late 80's early 90's East Coast Hardcore as a base, but incorporating into it each members personal musical tastes which ran from alternative music icons like the Pixies and the Cure, to classic rock from Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, and Boston, they synthesized a style of hardcore that was true to it's roots, yet provided melody, and difference that set them apart from other generic hardcore outfits. Their incorporation of trumpets also helped bridge the gap between the hardcore and ska scenes. BiG MiSTAKE has released four 7" E.P.'s, two full length cassettes, a CD, and two videos, toured all over the country, and played countless amounts of shows. While the members are now scattered all over the world (CT, NYC, Hotlanta, L.A., and New Zealand), they still continue to colaborate with each other, occasionally reforming to play a show or to record.
