The Huge Mistake is a powerpop/synth band from Englewood, New Jersey. The band formed in 2002 with the name Bitter Herb, later changing it to The Huge Mistake, an affectionate nod to their high school experience. Their self-titled debut album was released in summer 2008, and hit it big with the single "Always On My Mind". Their early work was strongly influenced by punk, powerpop, classic and acoustic rock, a particularly fashionable combination.
