As you may already know we have some headline shows in the UK and mainland Europe for April and May 2025 on sale now.
Dates for North America are in the works and lets just say keep June and August clear.
And to kick us off today we have a music video for 'Stitches', the second single from 'Death Hilarious'.

And some words by someone who wasn't us for some context:
The fifth album from Newcastle’s riff wizards Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs is defined by calculated aggression and self-lacerating lyrics. Its startling bonuses include playful synth work and the appearance of a giant of hip-hop. With its title juxtaposing absurdity and seriousness, this is Death Hilarious.
Whereas 2023’s Land Of Sleeper was conceived as an immersive headphones experience, this time Pigs strove for something more directly hostile. That objective came, in part, from playing so many gigs over the last couple of years, including headline tours across the USA, Canada and Australia as well as their native UK and Europe. The band felt well-oiled and ripe to give listeners at home the kind of pummelling their audiences receive.
‘Stitches’ is like Motörhead trying to perform glam rock with a tipsy keyboardist. Incongruous synthesiser solos appear where guitar histrionics would usually fit. Piano tracks lurk in the mix, adding near-subliminal depth to the maelstrom. With a bizarre and grotesque animated video from Ben Faircloth which depicts the band being mutated and mutilated by hideous hybrid fauna from across multiple dimensions of nightmares.
