Rhythm Pigs - El Paso



The all career high for this versatile and complex hc punk group. This is what rock sounds like when technically skilled hardcore musicians get together to play some more laid back stuff. Not that all of the songs are laid back and rock-ish. They put on a fine racket somwhere towards the middle with a medley of 3 ultrafast songs + a funny no 12 Mr. Rhinocerous just to remind you where they came from. But where they came to is the real deal. Starting with Spun and Exploded guitar intro, and getting stellar on Model T Ford, Rhythym Pigs shine as brightly as never before or after. Listen to this record and you will ask yourself how come these guys never made it big? They surely were good enough.
