Big Science, whose debut made our Best of local music list in 2008, is back with a new EP Skyscraper Sound. It's coming out at the end of the month on June 29 on AEMMP Records, Columbia College Chicago's student-run independent record label. In past years AEMMP has confounded us with the bands they partner with, but this time around we applaud their taste since we think Big Science is one of the city's most underrated musical gems. Their live shows carry a punk energy through songs that lean heavily towards the college rock of the late '80s. Brainy and danceable, Skyscraper Sound continues down the path the group laid out on their debut. We've got a sneak peek at the new EP with our download of the track "1000 Years," so snag it and if you enjoy it grab the rest of the EP when it comes out.
Big Science is playing on Sunday, June 13, at The Metronome Celebration on the south stage, the festival takes place on Milwaukee Avenue between Armitage and Western, 4:30 p.m., $5, all ages
