TWO TONNE MACHETE return with ferocious new protest anthem ‘PIGS PIGS’

North West feminist punk band TWO TONNE MACHETE explode back onto the scene with ‘PIGS PIGS’, a blistering new single that takes direct aim at the State’s crackdown on protest and dissent.

Raw, unrelenting and politically charged, the track is built on crushing basslines, searing guitars and Emily’s defiant vocals, a sound that lands somewhere between IDLES and Mannequin Pussy at their most furious. Written in response to the increasing criminalisation of protest in the UK, ‘PIGS PIGS’ draws from real scenes of police violence, including the vigil for Sarah Everard.

With its rallying cry — “Lights, gather, remember, to RUN!” — the single is a furious call to resist fear and fight back. This is protest music as it should be: loud, visceral, and rooted in solidarity.
