Big Head Todd and the Monsters is a rock band formed in 1986 in Colorado. The band has released a number of albums since 1989 with their 1993 album Sister Sweetly going platinum in the United States. The band has developed a sizable live following especially in the Mountain States of the United States.

The band was formed in 1986 with Todd Park Mohr on guitar and vocals, Brian Nevin on drums and vocals and Rob Squires on bass and vocals. The trio had attended Columbine High School together. Mohr attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado and transferred to the University of Colorado to join Nevin and Squires. The three began touring clubs in Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder as Big Head Todd and the Monsters in 1987. The band soon built up a following throughout Colorado and the West. They toured extensively throughout the Mountain States and West Coast of the United States in their van dubbed 'The Colonel', which was driven over 400,000 miles.

The group signed with Giant Records in 1993 and recorded Sister Sweetly with Prince associate David Z producing. This album spawned three singles that made the rock charts including "Bittersweet", "Broken Hearted Savior", and "Circle".

"Broken Hearted Savior" is the most successful song by American rock band Big Head Todd & the Monsters. It was released as the second single from their major label debut album Sister Sweetly in 1993, reaching number nine on the US Mainstream Rock charts. A black and white music video has been made, which features the band playing the song in a basement. Broken Hearted Savior has also been featured on the soundtrack to the 2006 motion picture Southland Tales.
