"She drinks Sanka in the afternoon / Or when she’s feeling different..."
There’s nothing for you in the city
There’s nothing for you in the city"
"Monty" begs and cajoles me to dive into "Eons" and I will. Love everything about this song. Big Soft Punch deliver emotional and musical complexities and as I listened I flashed on bands / artists like Pavement, Sonic Youth, The Breeders and Courtney Barnett. I also reflected on how parents damage their kids even gently without even knowing it. Press notes indicate that the band crafted their debut album "across multiple basements" in true DIY fashion and I love that as well. I have poured myself a drink. Here's to Monty wherever you are roaming.
Big Soft Punch is comprised of Allyson Stodola (Lead Vocals & Guitar), Jared Holsinger (Lead Guitar), Melissa Mattson (Drums & Vocals) and Pete Freund (Bass).

Big Soft Punch was formed in mid-2019 and was brought together by lead singer, Allyson Stodola. Made up of 4 Portland, OR transplants, the group met serendipitously through college, tinder (indirectly), and hanging around Portland. By February 2020 they played their first show but were forced into hibernation because of global circumstances. The subsequent period of time was spent fine-tuning songs, recording, and completing their debut album, Eons, across multiple basements. Over the next year, in true DIY fashion, the band’s lead guitarist, Jared Holsinger, and his twin brother John mixed and mastered the album. With their freshman album complete, the band is working on new songs (still in basements) and looking forward to finally playing live again soon.
