State Radio partners with Relix.com to share a Behind The Scenes look at "Big Man," current single from forthcoming album, Rabbit Inn Rebellion (Oct 22 via Ruff Shod/Nettwerk Records). Produced by Michael Parks Randa and Collie Woods, the short clip includes studio footage, a brief Q&A and images that inspired the lyrics.
A song about the social and economic inequality within the financial structure, “Big Man” comes out on the anniversary of the Occupy Movement - Occupy Wall Streetreceived wide coverage one year ago today.
"The song is about the economic disparity between Wall Street and the rest of us, while referencing Icharus (greed) and Solomon (wisdom)," – says lead singer/guitarist Chad Stokes.
