Brooklyn's Black Pig makes experimental lo-fi
alternative rock for the eclectic-minded fans of everyone from Sabbath
to Butthole Surfers to The Flaming Lips.
Black Pig is a true musical experiment. In late 2004, friends Joseph
Milazzo and Wayne Daren Schneiderman began a recording project that
broke away from the norm and challenged them as artists. The idea was
for them to convene once a week and record an original song. Each song
was to be written and recorded in one session - no exceptions. Working
under a time limit forced the two writers to break down their
inhibitions and let the spirit of the moment dictate the course of the
songwriting. The end product is It Is What It Is, a very fitting title if there ever was one.
Black Pig is ready to take on the world ... but is the world ready for BLACK PIG?

"...Manically
opening with a metal opus called “I Can’t Take Life”, Black Pig likes
to snub their noses at the traditional angst of modern music. The music
ranges well between lounge, metal, pop, & even something similar to
rockabilly without sounding contrived. Looking for the cure to
derivative rock? Look no further."
- J-Sin Shawn / Smother.net
"...A
thoroughly well-rounded album and a fantastic addition to the music
collection of anyone who appreciates any or all of the alternative,
rock, folk & swing genres. "I Can't Take Life" is a rock anthem for
a discouraged and disgruntled post adolescent Generation X."
- Sera Luna
"This
album absolutely moves me in a way that not many bands are capable of,
i.e. Nirvana, SOAD, NIN, Pink Floyd, Queen. It takes me back to when
music actually meant something. Black Pig gives me hope for music of
the future!!"
- Yoko T. Butch
"Don't be a dick. Do yourself a favor and get this CD!!!"
