Them Flying Monkeys drop ferocious new single ‘Big Boy’

Portuguese post-punk insurgents Them Flying Monkeys return with ‘Big Boy’, a brutalist blend of dancefloor chaos and distortion-drenched noise, out now via gig.ROCKS! and Only Lovers Records.

Produced by Jeremy R. G. Snyder (IDLES, Gilla Band), ‘Big Boy’ is club music with a bruised face, merging LCD Soundsystem’s groove-driven edge with the raw fire of IDLES. Frantic guitars, motorik beats and industrial sheen meet themes of growing pains, fractured identity, and survival through sound.

This marks a bold new phase for the Sintra five-piece, who’ve built a reputation for unpredictable, sweat-soaked live shows across Europe. ‘Big Boy’ is their most dangerous sound yet; frenetic, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore.
