Every fan, and even those who aren’t, should look up to Big Head Todd and the Monsters for their ability to function as a unit.
Two themes run consistently through CRIMES OF PASSION the eighth album from BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS—a love of rock and roll and the need to tell compelling, human stories.
The juxtaposition of riff-driven rockers against melodic ballads and diversity of styles from folk to funk reflects the band’s career-long embrace of all types of music, while staying deeply rooted in rock and roll.
