Pigsaspeople – Farewell show in Belfast tomorrow night
What you may need to know…
01. Post-hardcore and noise-rock were in order for Pigsaspeople, a three-piece from Belfast.
02. Emerging in 2012, the band quickly trotted out (hurr) their debut EP, The First Four Months before settling into recording Idles & Us, written around the same time and released the following year. Debut LP The Plot Against Future Plans, released in 2014, was an underrated slab of dissonance.
03. Streaming above is the band’s now-final single, 65 Symptoms, recorded at Start Together Studios and released as part of that studio’s Singles Club.
04. They bid farewell tomorrow night, after four years of activity, with a big show at Belfast’s Limelight 2. Also on the bill are 7.5 Tonnes of Beard, Bosco Ramos, and No Great Loss. Fiiiiiilth.
Verdict: With no shortage of either sonic or thematic heaviness, the band leaves behind a solid body of work, built on a rake of riffs.
