The Hogs have been Cape Town’s top punk band for about 6 years. The release of Oink in July 2004 has pushed them to the top of the SA music status ladder. Oink was launched at the Three Arts Theatre on the 5th July with support from The Rudimentals and Fokofpolisiekar. The Hogs agreed to play unplugged yet only George (vocals) and Ross (Trombone) arrived for the interview. When it came down to the actual live performance they broke down all stereotypes about punk music with a song that does not only have 3 chords. Porky Song has 1 chord, giving George and Ross the creative freedom to play the song backwards too. The song has had such a profound effect on the SA music industry that a few months later the Rudimentals came onto Native Noise and did a cover of Porky Song.
