Culture Pig started playing shows again in 2022 after a bit of a hiatus and on November 6, 2023 released its self-titled EP. The song “Resurrection Machin” is like listening to entire neighborhoods of broken sidewalks. It’s fractured structure, rapid starts and stops, its drill swell progressions, bursts of caustic noise, gouging guitar riffs that spiral into nervous catharsis is like if The Jesus Lizard was into powerviolence. Like the band got deeply into that early hardcore-adjacent Mr. Bungle music. It’s like industrial grindcore without the blast beats, it’s drumming more like something you’d hear in a weird thrash song. It’s noise rock hardcore without the tough guy stance. It is hard-edged and ragged yet lean and focused in its execution of its performance. So yes, if you’re into Amphetamine Reptile bands or the more raw and savage end of the Touch nd Go catalog, this is for you. Listen to “Resurrection Machine” on Spotify where you can listen to the rest of the EP as well and follow Denver’s Culture Pig on Instagram.
