Making their debut for cult Brighton Label Goo Records (Jopy, Welly, Canned Pineapple), Brighton quartet The Roebucks return with their new single ‘Great British Pig’
A reflection on Veganism, the hypocrisies of nationalist British Identity, as well as an expression of appreciation towards our swine friends, ‘Great British Pig’ proudly stands as the band’s most emotionally ‘meaty’ cut to date, as the band explain:
“Great British Pig” is a bit of an anti-meat song but more of a pro-pig song. Hopefully made less like a preach by the cartoonish words. It was written around the idea of Britain being the ‘land of hope and glory’- what’s paradise to some is a hell for others. We wanted a heavy, trudgy sound from the drums, bass and rhythm guitar alongside a piercing, distorted lead slide guitar. We like it sounding like a very large pig trudging through the mud.”
Haunting lilting vocals, big chords and a polished Americana sound, this is one brilliant track and a perfect introduction to the band. A band that will very quickly become one of your favourites.
