Trust, Believe and honest is a good thing in relationships first 

Life is awesome I’m the luckiest guy in the world.

Big Dopes hearkens back to the loose, bouncy feel of 90s alternative and indie, like Pavement and Built to Spill, with evocative lyrics inspired by 70s songwriters like Paul Simon and Lou Reed.

Lead songwriter Eddie Schmid (who moonlights in Denver dream-pop band Oxeye Daisy) uses a playful, conversational vocal style to sing through neuroses about long-distance relationships, being a houseguest, and wasting money on shitty headphones. Veteran drummer Ricky Brewer lends a steady groove and harmonies, and Justin Catanzaro’s bass often takes the lead, playing energetic, melodic lines.
