Pigunit - Metal/Funk/Rock/Hiphop eclecticism and beyond.
Imagine a fusion of now o'clock beats coupled with a 12 bore semi-automatic riff gun. Pig Unit are standing on the firing range of truth pumping round after round of sonic lead into the soggy corpse of contemporary music...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

in a nutshell, formed in 1998, undergone many line up changes. The core triumvirate of Floyd L Scaramanga, Stedman Cool and Boabus remain true to the Unit cause - fully fledged now with longstanding microphone jockey Bustyaleep, Vocal Viscount Rocky Rockwell and monster skin thrasher Gumtree.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Absolutely - live is where the Unit can touch and abuse its audience. All these moments are special! Best gig so far has to be the one where the whole band played - Northampton's roadmender
