Formed in April 2000, Manchester antagonists Rapid Pig terrorised, delighted and baffled listeners until it all became a bit much in June 2006. They now return with sharpened senses and pencils. Their list of raw materials range from folk to metal, from prog to punk and from electro to honest-to-goodness R'n'R. These myriad infuences are not merely set uncomfortably one after another in a linear fashion, rather somehow stacked vertically. The resultant blend is characteristically tweaked with spiky rhythms, eliptical arrangements and often startling dynamic shifts. Results have been described variously as 'apocalyptic' and 'I-don't-know-what-it-is-but-I-like-it.' The only parameters set by themselves have been to be different yet accessible.
