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?
Reviews
  "...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!!"
