Todays Punk Flashback The Pigs
The Pigs were a garage band from Bristol. The band formed in March 1977 and disbanded in March 1978.
The Pigs were a loveable Bristol band who, like so many, were galvanised by a another local band - The Cortinas - to form and play. Unlike many others they got to record a single for posterity - the excellent 'National Front'.
As the history below recounts there were the usual highs and lows including, stabbings, playing the Roxy, the single's release and it being played by John Peel and of course realising the dream was over.
As typical a story of a band as what was happening all over the UK at the time.
It's good to see their stuff being reissued by the mighty Bristol Archive Label.
