Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs: Having a silly name keeps you focused on music

"When the music’s so loud that you can’t think about anything else, all those niggling troubles just go” - Matt Baty, frontman of the Pig Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs told the Guardian about the psychedelic metal they're playing - “I find solace in really loud music. I don’t meditate – maybe I should – but it feels like I’m achieving a similar state of consciousness". Bassist Johnny Hedley explained - "It’s therapy through noise”. And for the band's name, abbreviated to Pigsx7 by the band themselves, guitarist Sam Grant explains that it functions as “an ego inhibitor. Having a silly name stops you getting ahead of yourself or hungering for success and keeps you focused on making music you believe in”. Listen to the band's third album 'Visceral' below.
