Big'n from Chicago, IL

Bigʼn is a Chicago-based noise rock band formed in 1990, consisting of vocalist William Akins, guitarist Todd Johnson, bassist Fred Popolo, and drummer Brian Wnukowski. After releasing a stellar debut album, followed by their sophomore and signature effort Discipline Through Sound on Skingraft Records, and a split single with Shellac, the band became inactive for some years. They resurfaced in 2010, releasing a compilation of singles and an EP, touring Europe twice, and playing numerous festivals in the US. In 2018, they recorded and released an EP, Knife of Sin, and in 2022, they released DTS 25, an expanded reissue of their second album. Both were recorded by the late, great Steve Albini and released on Computer Students™.
