Man, this is FUN and very cool! Right from the start, the lead off track "Saturday Night", you know where The Pigs are coming from. Where`s that? Play the tracks below and see if you don`t hear "Shake It Up"-era from The Cars or not. For the more obscure oldsters(and cool ones at that!), Human Sexual Response. Definitely some classic Devo and Thomas Dolby, too! How about Mental As Anything or Phil Judd-era Split Enz. How about "Whomp That Sucker!"-era Sparks? Well, like we said - COOL! " this release requires much more attention than it may at first seem--its a musical textbook on writing, arranging, production and releasing an instantly classic record. There is so much beneath the surface on this release. Not a song on this album will fail to satisfy those that yearn for the days of great pop songs--from any decade. At the same time, there is so much substance to the music that it is also the perfect album for those of us who love to find something new on an album every time we play it. The Pigs completely nail
all that was good about music past; then they deliver it in a way that is
destined to make Oink! one of the most innovative and sensational releases
of 2006."-OzBeatMusic. " Solid drumming supports slick guitar licks and
thumping basslines. Toss in a little sax to give it some sparkle. The lead
vocals are rich and emphatic, and the backing vocals provide a choral tint
that makes it all very appealing. The tunes are tight little pieces that
possess vibrant luster and catchy riffs. Dealing with human distractions
like love and parties and loneliness, the charm is universal and undiluted
by artificial flash. The music is hearty and direct.Fans of Sparks or
Polyrock shorn of all the quirkiness will enjoy this music."-SonicCuriosity.
Extremely Highly Recommended, oh yeah!
