The Mighty Chicharones have returned! Flying pigs fill the sky. Cheap tequila is swilled in bars and discos around the globe in celebration. The Chicharones, composed of Sleep of Oldominion and Josh Martinez, have kept fans, tour action, sales, and respect during a 3 year group hiatus, between solo releases. Since releasing their last album, When Pigs Fly (Camobear Records 2006), they have toured the world ten times over, collaborated with the who’s who of underground pop, and become international celebrities in their solo careers. Back together, after a messy break up, the bromance is on and popping and the Chicharones are back, releasing their tastiest, greasiest, wildest album ever. Welcome to Swine Country, an EP of legendary songs, a definitive statement of explosive growth for a duo at the absolute peak of their creative powers. These are songs inspired by James Dean, heist movies, broken hearts and sweet, sweet revenge. They are also part of the larger, genre-bending hip hop musical Sow Side Story, slated for summer 09 release. Swine Country is host to doo wop harmonies, adult-rated Dr. Seuss rhymes and the incredible interplay between two of rap’s finest, most accomplished artists. Swine Country is Pharcyde meets Dick Dale. It’s fedora wearing hip hop music with the swagger of rebellion, and all the tenderness of a mother’s touch. Get down and dirty. You’ll thanks us for it later.
