Incredible Hog - "Vol.1" 1973

From Noisecreep: "If you ask any aficionato of heavy and arcane tuneage to rattle off a list of the burliest and best sounds to come out of Britain in the early 70's, the words Incredible Hog are bound to fall from their lips.
The London based power trio only managed to shoot out one L.P. in their time of existance -- the optimistically titled "Vol.1 --  but the legend left behind with that sole effort weilds more weight than most bands multi-album catalogs.
Formed in 1972 from the ashes of the band Speed Auction, Incredible Hog was made up of Ken Gordon (guitar/vocals), Jim Holmes (bass), and Tony Awin (drums).. The trio was taking in all that was to be offered musically in London at the time. Everything from the British blues boom, to the emerging sounds of progressive rock was all grist for their hefty brand of brew. Although they seemed to be self sustaining, booking their own shows at their own club called "The Pig Sty", they were determined to get a label to released their first L.P. The unknown Dart Label stepped into the picture to release "Vol.1" by the middle of 1973. Even though the album was thunderous from start to finish, the lack of funds Dart had to promote it made it fall into the cracks. Crestfallen over the situation, the band split up by the end of 1973." -by Tony Rettmann for Noisecreep
