About Big Curve Music
Founded in 2020 by working musicians Jeff Bradford and Tim Phillips, Big Curve Music was built on a simple idea: give local DMV artists a fair, equitable platform to get their music heard and their records made. Big Curve is the sister label to Jammy Jams (already part of the Hostile City family), and its roster runs deep — American Jetset, Nova Koloso, Landis Harry Larry, Handapple, Gold Action, Race The Rat, Swampcandy, The Unknown Errors, Rollins Bradford, and DC hardcore punk institution The Goons, among others.
The label also runs an ongoing compilation series, The Big Cover-Up, pairing its artists with covers that show exactly where their heads are at.
