The only single from Big Black's final album, "Headache" showcases Steve Albini's signature blend of industrial beats, abrasive guitar, and raw vocals. This track became an unlikely indie dancefloor filler.
- The single version of "Headache" features a different, more polished mix than the version on the album *Songs About Fucking*. It was recorded at Chicago's Streeterville Studios with John McEntire.
- The B-side, "Pagan Moss," was an instrumental track that leaned into electronic experimentation. While the album *Songs About Fucking* was released on vinyl and cassette, the "Headache" single was also available on a limited-edition 12-inch picture disc.
- The single saw limited rotation on college radio, but its raw energy and confrontational lyrics resonated with the underground music scene. It remains a fan favorite and a key track in Big Black's discography.
Big Black was a noise rock band from Evanston, Illinois, known for their abrasive sound and confrontational live shows. "Headache" was released late in their career, following their major label debut and shortly before their breakup.
