Fucked Up - Year Of The Pig

The kings of punk and hardcore FUCKED UP return with a mammoth 12-inch single, second in a series of records based on the Chinese Zodiac. Year of the Pig is an 18-minute 34-second long prog-punk masterpiece featuring lush piano and organ arrangements by MAX DANGER (THE DEADLY SNAKES) and guest vocals by Toronto's JENNIFER CASTLE. Year of the Pig starts with gentle guitar and soothing organ before heading into darker territory with gruff male vocals offset by Castle's angelic singing and a meandering bass line. It's not until a full 7-and-a-half minutes in  that the track explodes into a Keith Moon-esque drum workout, which is followed by a one note Neu! trick that builds up to a thrash attack. It's The Wall as written and recorded by Poison Idea.
