BOSS HOG
Drinkin', Lechin', & Lyin'
1989 U.S. pressing

A super noisy, garage-y and bluesy kinda punk record; super loud and abrasive, thanks to the “production” work of the late, great Steve Albini.

This album is all about attitude, confrontation and energy than it is about any kind of refinement. It has a very live and off-the-cuff feel, and although Cristina Martinez’s vocals can be a little off-putting, they work because the band is so visceral.

An interesting record for fans of Jon Spencer’s more refined work in Blues Explosion.

All of the full lengths that followed this E.P. greatly pale in comparison to this. Very disappointing.

This is the only Boss Hog record you’ll need.

Whiteout is an album by alternative rock band Boss Hog.

While previous Boss Hog albums were indelibly stamped with the guitar-heavy aesthetic of Jon Spencer, AllMusic critic Chris Handyside describes Whiteout as fully planned and led by Cristina Martinez. The results are a modernized version of the group's signature sound, "garage punk and new wave girl groups as refracted through a 21st century looking glass." SPIN called it "ingeniously slicked-up garage pop." - Wikipedia
