Led by Jon Spencer from the noteworthy Pussy Galore, Boss Hog joined a wave of hardcore rock bands – others include Royal Trux, The Jesus Lizard, Unsane and Helmet – hell-bent on resurrecting rock’s rotting corpse for a final trip through the burning cultural graveyard of the early 90s. More rock and roll than most, Boss Hog created Cold Hands as a high-viscosity noise-blues garage manifesto, a sneering dive into the abyss. Engineered by Steve Albini and released by Amphetamine Reptile, two key players in American rock’s last stand.
