Yowie, a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis, have been stunning audiences with their incomparable barrage of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins and Magma and mutate them with the shrieker side of Big Black and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo, and tuning, to create a virtual audio maze, but no matter how complex things get, their compositions remain cohesive and compelling. After releasing their debut album Cryptooology on Skin Graft, they lost a guitarist.

With the mission to simply amaze people with the minimalistic set up of voice, guitar, bass and drums, PigsAsPeople are a force of nature that can only be conjured up by 3 words; agressive, abrasive and beautiful. Drawing influence from every area of the punk rock spectrum such as crushing textures of Russian Circles to the blistering pace of Converge and finally back to the punk roots of bands such as Fugazi and Black Flag, PigsAsPeople are a band to be listened to by any with a keen ear for loud and fast paced music.
