Boss Hog returns after 17 years with a new album ‘Brood X’…and it’s a futuristic brew of 21st Century blues, toxic punk rock beat music, and hyper-focused, outer-space psycho assaults.
Chanteuse Cristina Martinez blisters the hypocrites, the haters, the heartless, and the clueless hangers-on with a full-tilt microphone attack. A sex-bomb salvo for troubled times, Martinez give’s voice to America’s pain while pulling no punches.
Recorded & mixed at the fabled Key Club, using Sly Stone’s legendary There’s A Riot Going On console, Brood X channels the subversive mojo of the underground and brings next-level sonics to save your very soul.
