Well the Pig Earth PR machine is on it’s way. Along with the first review of 14‘x12’ there is a lot going on.
From the first report there are a few magazine and online reviews pending along with the one below. Tracks from the album are also playlisted on a number of radio stations including UK Country Radio, Oban FM in Scotland, Lincoln City Radio, Radio Caroline, Brooklands radio & Moorlands radio
There is a lot more happening as we speak, as soon as I know more I will post it here!!
The first review:
I don’t know what the neighbours must have thought but from the photo on the insert of Pig Earth’s five track EP 14’x12’ I’m sure they couldn’t have been too happy with all of the band recording in the living room! Still I suppose (at least to the band) it must have been a bit of a wheeze and judging from the tracks featured here they all had a good time.
From an organic point of view this must have all been pretty positive as the recording displays their music for what it is…an energised, good-time cross of country-folk without any frills. For those old enough to remember them this band brings back fond memories of the Big Geraniums and Lick the Tins who had the same attitudes when it came to the time-honoured tradition of “…if it sounds right - then it is”.
Between them Pig Earth unleash a barrage of instruments including guitars, piano, melodeon, mandolin, banjo and percussion with vocals provided by Neil Keveren and Emma Steele and I’m sure will wind up being the darlings of the Radcliffe & Maconie generation.
