I'd never heard these guys before this morning, and I love it. So many influences in that sound, you got Sabbath, Sleep, some Melvins in there, even a bit of Nomeansno. And they've got killer tone. Amazing recording and mixing as always from KEXP.

Bro KEXP does WONDERS for people who consistently look for new music to listen to.

Legit I just listened to some mexican new age pop like last week. They've had people like Atmosphere and Brother Ali on there as well.

I loved all their sets from Mexico, some of that shit was amazing. Off the top of my head I really liked Austin TV

I heard these guys on WFMU and almost caught them live in brooklyn in march. WFMU is also a great place for new music discovery. The Wake n’ Bake morning show with Clay Pigeon is my daily.

Little touch of Kyuss too

Check out Inter Arma if you haven't heard them before. Might be right up your alley.

The way he was moving while singing sort of reminded me of AC/DC

Reminded me of Henry Rollins. Black Flag era.

The short-haired guitar player was also giving me an Angus Young vibe.

Funny this just showed up in my feed too, but I assumed it was like a power metal parody band or something. Definitely will check it out now!

I first saw All Them Witches on KEXP. Phenomenal sound engineer. I saw them live a month later.

I like it. A bit disappointed that the lyrics weren't just the singer chanting pig pig pig.

That guitar tone is so fat that it should be used as a point of comparison when insulting someone’s mother

These blokes are fairly well known in the UK — glad to see the recognition they deserve, they fucking kick ass

They're the one stoner band that gets air time on BBC radio 6. Craig Charles is a fan it seems.

I always hear them on Lauren Laverne's show on 6.

For a second I thought that was Matt Pike but he was wearing a shirt so…

The vocalist looks like Lieutenant Dangle in a Stone Cold Steve Austin tank top.

This fucks.

My first thought when I saw him was "is that a cop?" He does look like dangle, but also is quite cop-like in general for some reason.

Edit: Or maybe like one of those old timey weightlifter guys

Or Pigsx7 for when you can’t remember how many times you’ve said Pigs

Saw them live yesterday and they destroyed the stage so good, but unfortunately the crowd was lame. Still had a lot of fun to headbang

Saw these guys in Huddersfield last year. The sunger has unbelievable energy.

On announcing their last song, he said, 'this is our last song, we don't do encores because they're bullshit.' He was suggesting it's essentially just lying about leaving the stage as everyone knows you're coming back. I loved it.

Also, Sabbath Worship is the best genre I've seen them put in haha.

I am such a sucker for stuff like this. Time to dive in...

So very confused. But delighted somehow

The lead singer reminds me of Black Flag era Henry Rollins. It’s the stage presence.

I saw them live last month and they blew my fucking head off. Well worth getting down to one of their shows!

bradm8780•

legitimate question (because I'm too lazy to google) - is there a reason why its "Pig" seven times?

2
nickstatusOP•

In my head, it's Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, with a cadence and accent sort of like if someone was counting in a sing-song voice, or maybe a little like how cheerleaders sound.

bradm8780•

I'm pleasantly surprised at how well I think I followed that hahaha
