It IS Big and it IS Special!
On this episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by Joe from Big Special, one of the most talked-about new voices in UK music. Joe dives into the story behind the band’s powerful debut album, Post Industrial Hometown Blues—a raw, poetic reflection of working-class life that’s turning heads across the country.
We chat about the band’s formation, their first-ever tour of Australia, and the surreal experience of playing Glastonbury. And yes—we finally get the story behind the mysterious dog on the album cover.
As always, we ask our guest to build an imaginary six-track mixtape, revealing the songs that shaped his sound and continue to fuel his creativity.
🎶 Honest, intense, and full of heart, this episode is a must-listen for fans of alternative music, spoken word, and anyone curious about the next big thing in British music.
