About Us
Beyond the Big Wave is a place where you’ll find self-involved and over-stated thoughts on records, gigs, life, politics and other (generally music-related) drivel. Expect unreasonable derision, baseless hyperbole and petty one-upmanship in abundance throughout our endeavours. We fully intend on stealing the internet connection from our helplessly oblivious neighbours.
