Big Head Todd And The Monsters Rockin’ Steady

The guys from Big Head Todd and the Monsters are spending their summer hard at work, rocking venues from coast to coast as they show off tunes from their upcoming album.

Rocksteady, the band’s eight studio album, is set for release July 20 on Big Records through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group with its first single, “Beautiful,” already in rotation at nearly 30 stations.

“It’s a soul/Caribbean record that rocks,” singer/guitarist Todd Park Mohr said. “We almost went out of our way to take all the rock out of it, but it really rocks. IT’s the very first album we’ve ever done that’s cohesive. It makes a difference, in terms of this album standing out from our other albums.”
