Hailing from Wausau, Wisconsin, Big, Big Furnace were an emo pop outfit that began in 1999 and were active in the early 2000s to 2003. These guys played what I've always thought of as midwestern emo pop, the jangly and frequently twinkly sound of bands like Chocolate Kiss. An extremely thorough biography of the band is up at their somehow still active website.
Their first release was a self-titled EP in 2000. This was followed in 2001 by their best work, Soundtrack to a Midwestern Winter. After separating, the band reunited a couple years later to record their last release, Losing You. This final album is still poppy, but loses most of the emo in favor of an indie rock medley with some post-punk influences.
thanks!
