Swedish '77 hardcore now from Bro near Stockholm: the Homy Hogs are not just cartoon charracters, but were a teen brats punk band from Upplands-Bro (where Joakim Lindegren grew up) and existed from 1979-1982 which belong to the pioneers of Swedish hardcore-punk, though they also played a more regular punk rock before and after. The band members will occur, even as individuals, especially as Nandor/Krystmarodören, Porra/Dildo and LT/Leffe. When the Sex Pistols start 1977 the punk explosion they changed their name to The Kuk. Since the interest died out, but in 1979 LT and Kirran joined country events, better known as Shakin 'Hitler & The Kuk. Soon they changed their name to Little Lenin & the Homy Hogs and then it was shortened to just Homy Hogs. It took until the following year before they could collect themselves for the first public gig. The hard workouts with friends in the rehearsal did Homy Hogs ready for an unsuspecting audience. The band felt that punk has become too wimpy and now it was high time to annama the hard line. The only album, Nöje För Nekrofiler was released via No Records (200 copies) and dealt to both; the American hardcore as well as British anarcho-scene. According to LT was Homy Hogs uncompromising for punks, and when it was realized that the band would still explode did its utmost to Smash Overdose-songs would be as uncompromising as possible. The band plays a lot of intoxicated gigs between 83 to 86, LT and Gordis founded meanwhile Werewolf On Wheels - the natural extension of Homy Hogs. A newly produced series about the band produced by Lindegren in 2008 to number 5 of the cult punk fanzine Sika Äpärä, Lindegren has also made the covers of Homy Hogs LP "Werewolves On Wheels" and single "High Drive & The Rokker Triplane". A reunion for one concert as Werewolves On Wheels @ Gärdet Festival 1991 and one as Homy Hogs at a private party @ the Apromus 1992 were held. Highlighted here the cover versions of "I Wanna Be Your Dog & Why Don't We Do It In The Road"... a fuckin' great record!!
