Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
Pigs. That’s seven. If I was a creative individual, I would write this as if it was a boxing match because Pigs x7 wore boxing shorts in celebration of their 5 studio albums. They also had a really big sound on stage, as if they were an announcer announcing the year’s biggest boxing match.
But I’m very much not a creative individual, so I won’t. I’ll instead regale you with how The Paranoyds and Pigs x7 were super Britishy even though only one of those groups was actually British and the other was The Paranoyds.
What even is Britishy? Britishy is mullets, of which there were more than normally expected at the Bluebird; dirty and grungy guitar lines, of which there were many from both Paranoyds and Pigs x7; and the band staying on stage and the audience in the crowd, where everyone belongs, but then yelling at each other from those spaces, of which happened the entire night. I’m guessing it’s because Brits are proper, or some shit like that.
This was super that. The hairstyles made you think of London. The crunchy guitar lines made you think of Newcastle. The politeness despite the rowdiness of both the bands and audience made you think of Ipswitch for some reason. And the largeness made me think of Brighton, but that’s only because I’ve visited the nude beach there.
Big dick jokes aside, if it was a boxing match, Pigs definitely won. It’s an odd experience, with such a polite and big sound, but isn’t that why you go to shows? To experience an experience? And to feel like you’re back in London even if you’re in Buttfuck Colorado?
Don’t forget to sign up for the weekly mailing list over on the side there! It’s better than following me on the socials that I don’t have.

The Paranoyds:
🎵 Face First
from the album Carnage Bargain
The Paranoyds make vibrant indie rock with subtle shades of glam and some garage undertones whose rough edges are softened just enough by their melodically bright sound.
For more about their music, visit https://thepropagandasite.com/artist/paranoyds
The Paranoyds is a four piece band that plays with the unpolished joy of classic garage rock, though they do so with clear and sharp articulation. Their songs come packed with catchy bits, and plenty of them, that do not overwhelm the overall sound. There is a hint of early post-punk in their music and an occasional glam feel. The guitars introduce just enough edgy touch, while the drums do a good job at propelling the songs forward. The band is very comfortable in the idioms of the garage style and maintain that tricky balance where they continue to be melodic while playing it big and loud without veering off into the world of anthemic rock.
