1, Big deal are from Sweden but what part of Sweden?
Big Deal is originally from Jönköping which is located in the southern part of Sweden, but Jake and Love moved to Malmö awhile ago so its split up between the two.
2, Who’s in the band & what do they play & how did BD start, how did you guys meet & decide to start a band
I pretty much met everyone in this band by going to local shows here in Jönköping, Jake played drums in a metal kind of band and Love used to do vocals in another band that blew the fuck up once he left haha. I always wanted to do a band since i was like 16 or something, but since there wasnt any guitar players wanting to play real hardcore i picked up a guitar and learned myself how to play and like 2 years later once i could play well enough we started to practice. We got Jake, myself, Martin and Love together for our first practice at the old local venue we used to run (RIP China) and we wrote our first song. We played our first show after a couple of practice sessions and it probably sounded pretty bad haha.
Martin left after awhile and we got our (young) man Amandus to play bass.
Current lineup is myself on guitar, Amandus Young on bass, Love on vocals and Jake on battery.
3,You guys did a demo & a 7inch I hear your recording soon, whats that gonna be for another 7inch?

5, So how did it come about green menace releasing your first 7inch?

10, Tell me a little bit about the Swedish hardcore scene, the best bands we should look out for.
The swedish scene is getting better and better! Kids are actually stepping up now and starting their own bands which is awesome, there has always been a couple of people doing bands but now theres new kids coming up and thats way cool.
As far as shows go, there usually good and have a positive vibe which is cool, even if i personally would love to see more people fucking shit up and letting loose and not trying to make friends with everybody.
