Pop Pie

Big Heavy World’s Pop Pie serves up the HAPPYROCK of Burlington, Vermont on a silver (ok, aluminum) platter. It has 15 tracks of upbeat, melodic, ironic, neurotic, novel and dastardly clever pop, rock, slacker-pop, mock-rock, and singer-songwriter tunes that will make anyone’s day a better one. Pop Pie is community-sponsored and features tracks from Burlington’s native bands and their extended family. “Stocked with quality tunes... Pop Pie delivers the sweets,” said Vox. Shake It Up E-Zine says of Pop Pie, “Keep your ear in Vermont's direction. There’s a pop rumbling there that may become a mighty roar!”
