Bigwig is a hardcore punk 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 / toured with such bands as Pennywise, Less Than Jake, Blink-182, The Ataris, The Vandals, New Found Glory, Parker and the Dogs No Use for a Name, NOFX, The Suicide Machines, Agnostic Front, Parkers Solo Trip, 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.

Both Josh Farrell and Tom Petta have received producers credits on several well known albums. Tom Petta has most recently produced the new record entitled "For Heaven's Sake" by Canadian punk rock band Only Way Back, which is scheduled for release in December, 2007.

Their 4th album, Reclamation, was released on February 7, 2006 by Fearless Records.
