When it comes to the best album of the year, for me
it’s about inspiration, boldness, fun, integrity and heart. All of that and
beyond is found here in Big Time by Toronto duo Triples. A 10 song cassette
full length debut, that harkens back to early 90s lo fi indie punk aesthetics,
and carry over of the same indie style of the early 2000s underground emo and
90s revival scene.
Youthful yet old school and nostalgic, Big Time
carries those skate punk jangly off signature guitar riffs into songs about
growing up, heart break and even climate change, all woven together through
overwhelmingly warm harmonies and much needed female perspective. Big Time will
make you flourish in the 90s punk lo fi outlook and memories which could bring
you to tears and unleash your inner mosh all at the same time. For all those reasons and more, The Best Album of 2019 belongs to Triples - Big Time.
Triples reminds me that the Toronto GTA will always
have some of the best music ever created and the best pop rock ever made.
If you’re a fan of PLUMTREE, Cap n’ Jazz, Liz
Phair, Juliana Hatfield, Frankie Cosmos or of anything that truly rocks,
Triples is the one for you. Check em out.
