deep cuts I find putting music on in the sty typically kills the mood. Now, truffle-scented candles and a nice slop bath can really elevate the scene to a fever pitch. Sometimes, in more questionable occasions I wrap bacon around... actually, I don't think my partner would appreciate me divulging our techniques. Let's just say the both of us can be real swine sometimes.
Ah, the Jesus Lizard! Now THAT was a live band! Thanks so much for once again taking a genre I thought I knew well making me hear it with new ears and adding a record I’ve never heard before (I.e. Cherubs). Your 5 Record Series is beautiful. Also, thanks for the Spotify lists. Great work, sir.
I'm in my 50's now & was into most of these bands in the late 80's-early 90's particularly Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Cows, Lubricated Goat & Scratch Acid. I'd never heard the term PIGF**K until now. It was always known to me as Scum-Rock/Noise-Rock/Degenerate-Rock.
I think Google (owners of youtube) overhear things you say around mobile devices and cater searches accordingly. That might seem crazy but pay attention to your recommended videos etc and you'll start noticing some are things you've been talking about but haven't searched for.
You mentioned the lyrics to "Kerosene" but didn't mention this so maybe you didn't notice: it's an answer song to John Cougar Mellencamp's "Small Town".
Thanks for the great video - didn't even know this was a "genre", cool. Please consider doing a Steven Wilson guide. I've been a fan of his for years but was lost amidst No-Man, Bass Communion, Incredible Expanding Mindfuck and Blackfield; which hopefully you could enlighten us on. Thanks!
I've personally never heard of the Pigfuck genre, but every album and band you've mentioned is brilliant. And I have deep connections and feelings for them all. Even though I don't fuck pigs. These bands and albums all were a big part of my growing pains in my life during my very late teens to early 20's....I was regular fucked
5 Albums To Get You Into... - Vaporwave - Indie Rock - Britpop - No Wave - Synthwave - Folk - New Wave - Emo - Grunge - Boom Bap - Pluderphonics - Chamber Pop - Downtempo so on and so forth....
Clicked just to see if Jesus Lizard was gonna be on the list in some shape or form. Their best album as far as I'm concerned was GOAT, but I can definitely understand why you decided to talk about Liar.
I love all these albums, and at first I thought it was kinda cheap/easy the way he focused primarily on the opening tracks for each album. but then again, when I really thought about it, I have at different times in my life described the opening tracks on each of these albums as potentially the greatest opening track of all time. lol seriously tho, I still truly think that Stag Party and Boilermaker in particular are very serious contenders for that position. not just in noise rock, across recorded music in general.
Hi Oliver, great video as always. The lofi casio style beat in the Cherubs track Baby Huey was sampled from an alarm clock that I had when I was a kid. It was a dog dressed as a prohibition era gangster, and that was the alarm. I hadn't thought of that thing for 20 odd years until I got into Cherubs about a year ago, couldn't believe what I was hearing! Someone appears to be selling one on gumtree (www.gumtree.com/p/hobbies-collectibles/retro-japanese-rare-speak-up-alarm-clock/1267080359). Keep up the great work mate.
Awesome!! Butthole Surfers are one of my favorites!!! Incidentally, what are some of your favorite books and/or authors? (since you're studying literature and whatnot). I wouldn't mind a video about it but I don't know how many people would be interested. Maybe make a new channel? Deep Pages? Deep Scrolls? Idk :)
So I think I might like some of these albums based on what you've said, which might make explaining my musical taste to people even harder than it already is...
It's the punk edge of noise rock, So I feel it's an important sub genre to make light of, and to do a 5 albums in as all these records don't quite sit with either punk or noise rock on its entirety, great list. Would also like to make light of Twelve Point Buck by Killdozer, fantastic pigfuck record
The fact that there's so much variety wouldn't make a difference really, it's just to introduce people to a few bands to start off with and the more variety the better, plenty of genres are wide ranging anyway including genres he's already covered like post punk, jazz etc. Also The Pod's one of my favourites too, as well as Pure Guava
Amazing list man! The right bands but maybe my choice of albums would be slightly different. However frankly speaking I don't like these bands at all but i have to admit listening to them was an incredibly unique experience. Love your videos man
Your channel is fantastic, obviously very clued up with music, a breathe of fresh air. Could you possibly do a get you into dubstep video. More people need to know about the dark garage genesis of the genre. (had to say that so you didn't think I was asking for skrillex edm stuff).
Anyone interested in this sound should definitely check out the band Kittens. I think they probably fit in this category, their song, "Great Dane" is a total banger, and they've got great energy
Great piece on a genre of music that gets criminally overlooked.... although those of us in the "know" prob prefer it that way! One point/question Oliver..... if we're trying to get the uninitiated into this filth why choose Atomizer over the more accessible and (as the vast majority of Big Black fans seem to think) superior Songs About Fucking??? Just curious, no biggie really as, as said, great article!!!
I saw Jesus Lizard in Roskilde at 1997. One of the greatest gigs -i ever have seen. Saw also Flipper and David Yow was frontong them. Mike Wass on bass. That gig is legenady. I have a Flipper tat and showed it to Steve De Paso after the gig and he invited me to a back stage where I was talking with all those people. David Yow remembered that 97 Roskilde gig. Amyway, First Flipper album should be on that list. All good bands but Durfers and Flipper rule!
The Jesus lizard has such a strange sound but such a cool sound at the same time and that is why I like them goat is my absolute favourite another album by them worth mentioning is head
I thought this was going to be a joke video at first but then I saw the bands/albums in the description and thought “huh, if there was any bands to call pigfuck that’d be it.”
I don't know what it means, but I think it's interesting that three of the bands you mention are linked to Texas, Jesus Lizard, Cherubs, Butthole Surfers. And three of them are linked to the northern midwest, Chicago and Minneapolis: Big Black, Jesus Lizard and Cows. Another great band that I'd consider Pigfuck is Killdozer,. from Madison WI. Another N midwest band.
Heyyy, Big Black is fuckin' great. Songs About Fucking by them is also excellent, thanks for mentioning it! May I note that Steve used a pick made out of sheet metal? It's part of the reason why the guitar sounds like its strings could snap any second. Noise rock, let alone Pigfuck, is a niche as fuck genre but I guess I like niche rock genres.
A tad late to the party, but for a pigfuckish band than went on to achieve huge popularity in the 90s and one you could dance your ass off to, check out Therapy? - Babyteeth and Pleasure Death EPs (also known as Caucasian Psychosis minialbum in the US) or their first LP 'Nurse' - darkness, industrial sounds, phenomenal grooves on drums (influenced by Stewart Copeland, techno and metal).
no Scratch Acid?!? Didnt Albini Worship that band? Plus, Scratch Acid was an insanely shocking new sound. I dunno man, Jesus Lizard was great but Scratch Acid was decimating
I can tell the comment section on this one is going to be great
deep cuts I find putting music on in the sty typically kills the mood. Now, truffle-scented candles and a nice slop bath can really elevate the scene to a fever pitch.

Aggressive Baboon Eyes what does that have to do with anything what are you trying to say
David Camerons favourite musical genre
- Hi! I just started a new Band!
- Cool, what kinda music do you make?
- We're very inspired by the style and sounds of Pigfuck!
- Oh...
Best comment

5 Albums to Get You Into Crunkcore
Ivan Malek nice meme
okay but unironically
Stared blankly for minutes at my notifs when this popped up
big black had somevof the best guitar sounds ive ever heard. incredibly unique
SET ME ON FIREEEEEEE KEROSENE!
Lucas Garibaldi I had the same thought.
Ah, the Jesus Lizard! Now THAT was a live band! Thanks so much for once again taking a genre I thought I knew well making me hear it with new ears and adding a record I’ve never heard before (I.e. Cherubs). Your 5 Record Series is beautiful. Also, thanks for the Spotify lists. Great work, sir.
absolutely. one of the best bands of the 90s
So basically the of musical equivalent of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Brilliant
never heard of pigfuck, but these have all been my favorite albums of all time
The bass line to Kerosene is one of the best bass lines ever written.
I'm in my 50's now & was into most of these bands in the late 80's-early 90's particularly Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Cows, Lubricated Goat & Scratch Acid. I'd never heard the term PIGF**K until now. It was always known to me as Scum-Rock/Noise-Rock/Degenerate-Rock.
22 Going on 23 is still one of the most unsettling tracks I've ever heard.
I knew I had to watch this as soon as I saw the Big Black cover. Steve Albini forever.
Guide to Scott Walker needs to happen.
Man I love that you actually called it pig-fuck
Lmao I was actually just rewatching that Black Mirror episode with the pig fucking last night
Literally a minute after I bought "Atomizer" on vinyl in Chicago, this video uploads. Were you reading my mind?
I think Google (owners of youtube) overhear things you say around mobile devices and cater searches accordingly. That might seem crazy but pay attention to your recommended videos etc and you'll start noticing some are things you've been talking about but haven't searched for.
Don't forget Killdozer!
Rare to see people give Cherubs some credit. They're so underrated.
You mentioned the lyrics to "Kerosene" but didn't mention this so maybe you didn't notice: it's an answer song to John Cougar Mellencamp's "Small Town".
Lol.
Crossing my fingers that this points toward either a guide to sonic youth or 5 albums to get you into No Wave, that would be incredible!!!
5 albums to get you into bubblegum bass
chur ricardo ookay maybe
i think you should include pc music vol 1 & 2
i mean its still very young, there aren't a whole lot of albums out there.. there's EPs but not a whole lot of albums.
Can you do a guide to Death Grips?
Would be nice
Wahey
I always called it "noise rock"...
You mentioned Philip Glass...
I’d love to hear you talk about his work!
Happy to see The Jesus Lizard get some recognition. Have always been one of my favourite bands but I never see them being discussed.
Have you considered making a guide to fugazi or unwound?
Mike Oxlong I would just say: go and listen to every Unwound's album, they are all great
Just did
holy shit yes we might get more people to listen to the cows now
This just made me think of Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master.
"PIGFUCK!"
nice to know other people are acknowledging the sheer genius of Cherubs' Heroin man
A guide to Steve Albini?
Fuck yeah dude!
Thanks for the great video - didn't even know this was a "genre", cool.

Thanks for giving me Heroin Man, that album was absolutely incredible!
You hit cherubs right on the money. I still don't know what to think about it. It's really good, but really fuckin unsettling.
5 Albums To Get You Into...

seriously tho, I still truly think that Stag Party and Boilermaker in particular are very serious contenders for that position. not just in noise rock, across recorded music in general.
The best Cows album hands down is Sorry in Pig Minor and everyone needs to hear it. It’s the last one they released.

5 Albums to Get You Into TheNeedleDrop
This should be the title
It's the punk edge of noise rock, So I feel it's an important sub genre to make light of, and to do a 5 albums in as all these records don't quite sit with either punk or noise rock on its entirety, great list. Would also like to make light of Twelve Point Buck by Killdozer, fantastic pigfuck record
i sense a melon lurking around
i know of a few websites you could use to get into pigfu. . .
oh, not what we're talking about? nvm.
Could the Tom Waits Guide be the next one possibly? Maybe?
Kameron Hansen björk guide when
Still waiting on that Steve Albinism guide
Top 5 albums to get you into Lo-Fi Rock? Great vid by the way
lo-fi rock is such a wide genre though, ranging from bands like chrome to artists like mac demarco
anyway just listen to yip/jump music and the pod, my 2 favorite lo-fi records
The fact that there's so much variety wouldn't make a difference really, it's just to introduce people to a few bands to start off with and the more variety the better, plenty of genres are wide ranging anyway including genres he's already covered like post punk, jazz etc. Also The Pod's one of my favourites too, as well as Pure Guava
I love this sound but I didn’t know it was a genre!!!
you should really do a video on steve albini! big black is one of my fav bands
Please talk about Koyaanisqatsi. It's my favourite piece of modern music and I would love to hear your opinion on it.
Roffbist or Phillip Glass Mishima... That's my favorite.
hey Oliver would love to hear your thoughts on Mr Bungle
Amazing list man! The right bands but maybe my choice of albums would be slightly different. However frankly speaking I don't like these bands at all but i have to admit listening to them was an incredibly unique experience. Love your videos man
Any chance of a Stoner Metal " 5 albums" ?
Locust Abortion Technician is such a fantastic album
Your channel is fantastic, obviously very clued up with music, a breathe of fresh air. Could you possibly do a get you into dubstep video. More people need to know about the dark garage genesis of the genre. (had to say that so you didn't think I was asking for skrillex edm stuff).
yes skrillex and knife party is good xD xD haha! i love dubstep WUB WUB HAHA!!!
//null//.mp3 Katy Perry invented dubstep confirmed.
Rest in peace Steve Albini, you were a legend.
Next genre? Please do Post Hardcore or Shoegaze or Plunderphonics/Instrumental Hiphop
The genre was also termed 'Arsequake' by various UK journalists.
Anyone interested in this sound should definitely check out the band Kittens. I think they probably fit in this category, their song, "Great Dane" is a total banger, and they've got great energy
Great piece on a genre of music that gets criminally overlooked.... although those of us in the "know" prob prefer it that way!
One point/question Oliver..... if we're trying to get the uninitiated into this filth why choose Atomizer over the more accessible and (as the vast majority of Big Black fans seem to think) superior Songs About Fucking??? Just curious, no biggie really as, as said, great article!!!

As one of my favorite subgenres of music, this was a great surprise and a great video. Thank you for this!
I love this! Your channel is so good, been watching them all day.
Ive never heard this term..
But I have all these albums haha
The Jesus lizard has such a strange sound but such a cool sound at the same time and that is why I like them goat is my absolute favourite another album by them worth mentioning is head
I thought this was going to be a joke video at first but then I saw the bands/albums in the description and thought “huh, if there was any bands to call pigfuck that’d be it.”
Well, I didn't know this was a thing before.
if you wns up talking about steve albini please dont forget to mention neurosis as he worked closely with the band since the 90s.
I would love to hear a guide into harsh noise or power electronics in the future...
I don't know what it means, but I think it's interesting that three of the bands you mention are linked to Texas, Jesus Lizard, Cherubs, Butthole Surfers. And three of them are linked to the northern midwest, Chicago and Minneapolis: Big Black, Jesus Lizard and Cows.

America: Noise Rock
England: *P I G F U C K*
-America- Rest of the world: Noise Rock.
Atomizer is fucking awesome
May we politely ask for a spotify playlist with more albums from this genre?
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS THIS IS AMAZING I CANT WAIT TO SEE NEW CONTENT
CHERUBBSSSS
I tend to just use “noise punk,” I’ve never heard the term pigfuck lol
same here
Never heard of this genre. Seems fitting I suppose. I like some of these bands. Definitley a interesting video!
About that Steve Albini guide?
so basically Noise Rock
This list is probably what one should listen to in order to eventually get into Swans.
Uhhh so noise rock basically?
can't we call this noise rock though lol
Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy, I like him just fine,
but he's a mouth breather.
Bit harsh
quality shit mang keep up the good work!
I had to come here. I read the title and it was just like "what?... wait what the fuck?"
Pigfuck is probably the best word for atomizer, I can't believe I've never heard it
you should do an episode on synth-pop?
Is this a UK specific term? We just call it noise rock in the US
Robert Christgau is longtime music journalist, hes pretty famous, but no one seriously uses pigfuck as a genre label, noise rock is good
Idk how anyone; could consider the Butthole Surfers noise rock
It's more of an aesthetic than a real genre. This could be considered hardcore punk, noise rock and post-hardcore.
Fun fact. Family friends with the singer from Cherubs.
