Big Stick are an alternative/independent band that gained much airplay with their debut release, the ''Drag Racing'' EP in 1986. It was instantly recognizable for Yanna Trance's voice repeated spoken line "''In the summer I wear my tube top, and Eddie takes me to the dragstrip''" throughout the track. It was one of the 142 singles in BBC DJ John Peel's Record Box that he'd picked to rescue in case of a fire.〔(Inside John Peel's record box ), The Times online edition, October 23, 2005.

In 1990, Blast First records released a box set of 10 7" singles by various artists on their roster, including Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Big Black, the Butthole Surfers and Sun Ra. The box set was named after the Big Stick track it contained, ''Devil's Jukebox''.
