Skunk Anansie Releases New Song “Piggy”
British rock icons Skunk Anansie roar into 2022 with a fierce new track titled ‘Piggy’. A punk-rock explosion of distorted riffs, growling vocals and powerful beats, it’s as confrontational and uncompromising as anything the band has done in their long and illustrious career.
The track is accompanied by a startling lyric video, featuring pig imagery and Skin’s baiting lyrics, aimed squarely between the eyes of those corrupt and venal politicians currently in power, in the UK and around the world.
Skin comments: “If there’s one thing we’ve all learned over the past two years, it’s that we can’t rely on our governments to look after us. They seem unable to learn from the past. and unable to secure a decent future. This song was written in a moment of rage combined with bitter disillusion. Brexit then complete Covid mismanagement, how the hell did we get here?
Skunk Anansie will set off on a massive European tour this spring, featuring

Right now we feel we have a lot of common issues, we aim to honor that. , not to avoid it, but also to contribute a little We really can’t wait to be on stage again and are stupidly excited for the tour!We can’t wait to get back to what we do best and we can’t wait for you hear what’s new.”
