BIG PROBLEM, the Manchester-based alt-post hardcore band, has released their new track “Damager,” which dives into the relatable frustrations of working under a lazy project manager who demands more but contributes nothing.
For anyone hustling through various projects—be it in tech or whatever grind you’re on—you know exactly what BIG PROBLEM is laying down. That frustration, the burnout, and feeling like nobody sees your hard work? Yeah, it hits hard.
This song addresses feelings of burnout and the sense of being undervalued in the workplace, themes that resonate deeply in today’s demanding work culture.
“Damager” features lyrics that paint a stark picture of the struggles many face at work:
“An executive shakedown
With a feeble grip
An impossible thankless task
The one that slipped”
“You’ve done nothing
You are nothing”
The song was mastered by Grant Berry, known for his work with bands like Higher Power, Static Dress, and Boston Manor.
BIG PROBLEM has been making strides in the UK scene, with a solid performance history that includes shows for Outbreak Fest and supporting bands like MSPAINT, Restraining Order, and Upchuck.
Looking ahead, BIG PROBLEM has a weekender tour slated for the end of the month.
