Hello one and all!

Before the pandemic struck, Big Newton members met at a cottage and wrote a song which we called “Spontaneous” at the time.   Here we are 7 years later with our first release!  The Age of Octavius is an homage to our every charismatic bass player, Ian R. Halman.  Over the years, his quips, tendencies and general nonsense have inspired us so that we've created 14 tracks that capture everything that is Ian.  Aside from that, the music is a creative explosion that spans the 18 years since our last album was released back in 2007!  You'll find something for everyone's taste including some over the top ridiculous to the rock music sublime!
