Band of the day

Well rather than continuing the onslaught of US ska bands I'm looking to Australia today. The Porkers
formed in 1987 as The Pork Hunts, the band was eventually forced to change its name to the less offensive-sounding Porkers in 1990 after their regular Newcastle venue refused to present them with their old name. Because of this, their first release was the 1990 EP entitled Tired of Being Pork Hunts, which reached #6 on the Australian independent charts. They've been recording and touring ever since, The Porkers have toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Germany and Japan.
