Have You Heard: Pigs Of The Roman Empire

Answered by: Troy Keith

When did you start making music and why? We all started playing in high school, full of angst and teenage hormones. We're still angry now, but it's sharper. More refined.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Quiet/loud post-rock tension.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Slint's Spiderland. It's like a guided tour of the wide open spaces in your mind. If you don't pay attention, you'll float away.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Cutting my hand open mid-performance and bleeding all over two guitars and a microphone. In the daylight, they looked like murder weapons.

Why should people come and see your band? Our set evolves and pivots from fast and loose to slow and sombre. Like a cheese grater on the soul.

When and where are your next gigs? 3 May, Bar Open
