Discography Cassette Of Violent Pigz From Osaka, Japan ! American Hardcore punk/Horror Movie influenced Japanese Hardcore! FFO: Total Fury, Minor Threat, TSOL, S.O.A., Black Flag, Negative FX, Adolescents !
Our take: This cassette collects the three EPs this US hardcore-style band from Osaka, Japan has released so far. Hearing this band for the first time on a collection like this is making me feel out of the loop the first of these recordings came out in 2016, though it looks like originals are hard to find, with editions as small as 50. Violent Pigz sound is right up my alley, ranging from super fast, early Dischord-style bashing to songs that are a little more melodic, sort of like Marginal Man or Dag Nasty. If all Violent Pigz songs leaned in that direction (rather than just a handful scattered throughout this tape), I could see them appealing to folks who like late 80s post-hardcore bands like Verbal Assault or Turning Point, but the balance tilts toward the raw and ripping. Their singer sounds a lot like Kenji from Total Fury, whose 13 Songs LP is one of the worlds high-water marks for early Dischord-style hardcore in the same vein as Violent Pigz. Fans of anything mentioned aboveor, even better, all of itwould do well to check this band out.
