Pigbros – From Now On This Will Be Your Ideal Life [LP] (1988, Cake Records)

Pigbros formed 1984 by Nick Beales (guitar and vocals) fresh from a stint in The Nightingales and Jonathan Cooke (bass). Recruiting a teenage Fuzz Townshend (later with Pop Will Eat Itself, Bentley Rhythm Ace, General Public / Ranking Roger, The Beat, The Wonder Stuff, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Bucks Fizz, The Wurzels, Black Lace ... as well as projects under his own name) the band played a few gigs before augmenting the line up a few months later to include Svor Naan (saxophone and guitar) not long departed from The Cravats / DCL Locomotive. The initial sound was a rumbling, bass-heavy groove, driven by Fuzz’s drumming and Jonathan’s unique echo bass with Nick's fierce choppy guitar playing. Added to this concoction was Svor’s mixture of sax riffing and swirling echo effects and a rather curious guitar style which could be mistaken for a balalaika. Although along the way there was a tendency to deviate from this template, Pigbros did on the whole manage to maintain this sonic approach. [SOURCE: LAST.FM]
