"I love Pigs 'cause they remind me of MAN. They eat, they sleep, they snort and they grunt. I know some Pigs that live in New York. They eat, they sleep, they snort and they grunt. I love the Pigs in LA. They overindulge. They waddle in greed... Take more than they need. Of course, I'm a Pig too. Be a Pig and be proud."—from "I Love The Pigs" by THE PIGS |

| THE BIG OINK! PIGS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
"Pigging out" is a favorite pastime for most of us. But leave it to Geoff Westen and THE PIGS to laugh at themselves while they're doing it, and chuckle to themselves as they watch YOU do it! In fact, THE PIGS advocate the occasional act of repulsive behavior, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
Be a Pig and be Proud!
OINK! is a first-rate collection of Power Pop gems and Geoff Westen's quirky and eclectic layer until it hurts approach to creating music is key to THE PIGS "Wall of Pop" sound. Each song is like a musical skyscraper—built layer upon layer until the pinnacle is cemented in place. You might not hear it all the first time or the second time; that's what keeps it interesting. Every time you give it a listen you'll hear more of the colors, taste more of the flavors. It just keeps getting better and better.
Westen's lyrics are often deceptively simple love songs dressed up as tongue-in-cheek commentaries on romance. He amuses us with his observations and social commentaries about society today—in other words, they're about all of us - what we do and why we do it.
Guitar crunchers like "Saturday Night," "Paradise" and "I'm Sick" will rock your socks off, while the classic angst driven rock ballad "Sweetheart" will break your heart. "I Don't Need It" and "Doesn't Anyone" take you on a quick departure to explore the nasty and cold "real-world" out there. There are Pop-tinged tracks like "Oh Girl," and "Heartbreak Street" that stick with you all day long. We could go on and on...
The Pigs—OINK! was Geoff Westen's first pop album on his Disturbing Music Label. Also check out the Digital Activity opuses Birth and Xmas Vol. 1, and his latest Power Pop collection, Vidiots—TUNE IN!!
We hope you enjoy all the sounds that THE PIGS make on this CD. The critics did. Read what they have to say about Oink! Read the PIGS Reviews.

THE PIGS PACKAGE OINK!'s Pigs Parts CD package was designed by Oz Studios with a pig snout on the front and the pig's butt on the back! We had to answer a ton of questions because many of you couldn't figure out what the back cover was! It was certainly obvious to us...but oh well. |
