"Next Big Thing" comes from Destination Universe, the 1992 album by Material Issue, and it's Jim Ellison's show from top to bottom: he wrote it, sings lead, plays guitar and co-produced it with the band. Ted Ansani adds bass and backing vocals and Mike Zelenko drives it from behind the kit, a tight three-piece chasing the sort of hook that a title like this more or less demands.
