Lost In The Sound Presents: Big Big Plans

Big Big Plans

For Fans Of: This Condition, Holiday Parade

Lost In The Sound proudly presents Big Big Plans, a pop punk band hailing from West Chester, Pennsylvania. The young band has already released an EP in early 2010 and are currently at work on a new full length that will be out later this year. You can listen to the first single from Everything You’re Hiding below. “Stop & Go” features the use of a catchy guitar riff that subtly lies behind the driving vocals of frontman Eric Thomas Reavey. If you like fun, punk-enfused pop rock, be sure to give it a listen below. You can support the band by purchasing the track on their Bandcamp, listed below.

Big Big Plans is a four piece pop punk/pop rock band from West Chester, Pennsylvania. The band is composed of Eric Thomas Reavey on vocals and guitar, Kevin Shishko on drums, Derek Parker on guitar, and JP Florio on bass and vocals. Their first release was a 3 song EP titled 2010 EP back in early 2010. Since then, the band has been hard at work on a new full length that is set to come out in the next few months titledEverything You’re Hiding. “Stop & Go”, which is the first single off the new record is just a taste of what they have in store. Since forming, Big Big Plans has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Four Year Strong, Polar Bear Club, and Koji. While they are made up of 3 college students and a high school junior, they are still hard at work currently writing more material to be released after the LP and also playing as many shows as possible.
