THE ROEBUCKS GREAT BRITISH PIG
‘Great British Pig’ is the new single from Brighton-based newcomers The Roebucks. The band have created an interestingly British take on Americana, with the melodic richness and elegant twang of alt-country colliding with a nostalgic blues-rock sensibility. They describe the track as “a bit of an anti-meat song but more of a pro-pig song. Hopefully made less like a preach by the cartoonish words. It was written around the idea of Britain being the 'land of hope and glory'- what's paradise to some is a hell for others.” The trudge of the drums and bass almost feel like a pig wandering through the mud, while the lead guitar’s biting tone wouldn’t feel out of place on Pink Floyd’s Animals. You can catch the band live around the UK in 2025. -Dan Peeke
