"Big Boys music, artwork, and defying attitude have resonated for decades from their inception in 1979 until their demise in 1984. To be able to blend punk, hardcore punk, post-punk, Oi!, avante-garde jazz, and funk just sounds like a mess but Big Boys did this flawlessly and with perfection !!! Their love of skateboarding also shined through and melted all of this together. At some point Thrasher Magazine caught notice and every skater in the 1980s knew about Big Boys through their coverage in the magazine and their 'Skate Rock' compilations. Most bands are, long forgotten with such a short lifespan. Putting out numerous LP's and EPs while touring the US cemented their legacy that has left a ripple into even modern music. They were at the forefront of do it yourself culture that paved the way for so many."
