I thought it was crazy a few months ago when an album by an anti-Portland Police themed band was dropped on my desk: Tazer Crazy by band Five-O.
But now I've come into possession of a new album by an entirely separate, second local anti-Portland Police band, Pigs Gone Wild by group Feral Pigs.
This second album to appear in the burgeoning anti-police genre shares some similarities with Tazer Crazy. For example, both album covers feature erratic photoshopping. On the front of Tazer Crazy, a pirate looms behind a policeman with a guitar who ignores a pixelated anti-war protester lying on the sidewalk; on Pigs Gone Wild, a Halloween Hot Cop struts her stuff in front of a police car inscribed with "Porkland Police" which patrols an Old Town street transformed by a Photoshop filter. The music of both bands shares a lot in common, too, but I'm terrible at describing music (it's fast? and loud?) so I'll just link to Feral Pig's Myspace and you can get the idea.
