Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
Miles Kane has announced a second UK tour of the year, Silent K to play Zanzibar, and Getintothis‘ Lewis Ridley digs a new tune from Her’s.
Newcastle’s Pigs x7 have announced date at The Shipping Forecast on November 30 in support new album King of Cowards.
The new album, released on Rocket Recordings, is out September 28 with the Liverpool gig ably assisted by support act Mesange, comprising Liverpool duo Agathe Max and Luke Mawdsley.
Building on the momentum this band has built since their January 2017 debut Feed The Rats, this opus sees them entering a new phase as a sleeker and still more dangerous swineherd.
The Iggy-esque drive to dementia, Sabbath-esque squalor and Motörhead-style dirt may still be present and correct, yet the songs are leaner, the long-drawn-out riff-fests sharpened into addictive hammer blows and the nihilistic dirges of yore alchemically transformed into an uplifting and inviting barrage of hedonistic abandon.
The Jjohns
