Bigwig (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bigwig are a hardcore punk/thrash band from New Jersey, formed in 1995. They are comprised of Josh Farrell (guitar), John Castaldo (bass), Tom Petta (guitar/vocals), and Dan Rominski (drums). Since their inception, they have been steadily gaining popularity, having played with such bands as Pennywise, Less Than Jake, blink-182, The Ataris, The Vandals, The Suicide Machines, Agnostic Front, Lagwagon, and Reel Big Fish. Following the release of their 2001 album Invitation To Tragedy, injuries and lineup changes caused the band to take a five-year hiatus.
