Boss Hog

Brood X

In The Red

Boss Hog returns from the wild with their most subversive record — this is the seductive soundtrack for the second coming of militant rock’n’roll, and the groove has never been stronger. Brood X — emerging from the dirty streets of New York City after seventeen years of gestation — is a futuristic brew of 21st Century blues, toxic punk rock beat music, and hyper-focused, outer-space psycho assaults. Thermonuclear chanteuse Cristina Martinez blisters the hypocrites, the haters, the heartless, and the clueless hangers-on with a full-tilt microphone attack. A sex-bomb salvo for troubled times, Martinez gives voice to America’s pain while pulling no punches. This band does not negotiate. This is scorched earth rock’n’roll for the resistance, barbed-wire blues battling for the future of the planet. Recorded and mixed at the fabled Key Club, using Sly Stone’s legendary There’s A Riot Goin’ On console, the album channels the subversive mojo of the underground and brings next-level sonics to save your very soul.

Brood Star Ep

In The Red

New York City’s most dangerous rock ’n’ roll band is back with Brood Star, a four-song maxi-disco 12-inch, distilled, vivisected, surgically altered, bound, spindled, remixed and mutilated into a tantalizing amuse-bouche for their forthcoming full-length album, Brood X. Boss Hog has traveled to the edge of the physical realm and the far side of human comprehension to bring back an unprecedented listening experience. Brood Star is a scalding hot treat, broiled by cosmic rays and ripped from the furthest reaches of the audible universe. Primitive, raw, punk rock’n’roll, re-imagined for a New World, it swarms like prehistoric insects rising out of deep hibernation. Listen to Brood Star now. Feel it unfold inside your brain. Succumb to your future—a world without war, a world without pain. Do not attempt to adjust your stereo. Boss Hog was formed in 1989 by Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer. The band has released three disturbed and sexually incendiary studio albums and as many EPs, along with numerous slashing, unparalleled singles, on the world’s most important record labels, including Amphetamine Reptile, In The Red, and DGC / Geffen. Boss Hog is internationally known as New York City’s most provocative and original rock ’n’ roll band.

Whiteout

In The Red

***Album number five finds Cristina Martinez (NYC fashmag masthead resident and one-time member of Pussy Galore) and Co. in full, full force. Ten songs, every single second of every single one total rock'n'roll. 2000 doesn't officially begin until you've sung along with Cristina as she lilts "whoa-oh-ah-oohhhh" on "Chocolate"! Yup, "Whiteout" is two tons of emotion, dark around the edges, and conducive to butt-shaking, provided with help from the Blues Explosion's Jon Spencer (guitar, vocals), keyboardist MARK BOYCE, and one of the sauciest rhythm sections ever, Jens Jergensen and Hollis Queens. Also present in the studios, limos, and dressing rooms were producers Tore Johannson and Andy Gill, mixers Jim Sclavunos and Jim Thirlwell, and engineer Bill Emmons.
