Pig Sweat

Backward Values

Swiss punkers Pig Sweat bang out a barrage of sputtering and scrapping hardcore punk like a gut punch. Tracks are fast and furious, clocking in at around one to two minutes each, yet they are chock full of attitude with blistering riffs and changes. Some moments are mid-tempo jackhammers, others are blazing hardcore. A lot comes to mind here, from contemporaries Golpe and Exil to Nightmare (huh, that's the title of track three) and Poison Idea. Guitars are in the higher register like Die Kreuzen, while the rhythm section plays with a ton of heavy umph, think Severed Head Of State. The balance of punk rock groove and insane hardcore meltdown, all done, again, in just a couple minutes each, is impressive and concise.
