Homy Hogs were a Swedish punk band formed in Bro, Upplands-Bro Municipality, in 1979, and were active until 1988 with some breaks.[1] They are considered true Swedish pioneers in hardcore punk together with bands like Anti Cimex, Mob 47 and Headcleaners. This foremost considers their first releases, the album Nöje For Nekrofiler from 1981, the cassette Ljudfientlighet from the same year, and the EP Smash Overdose from 1982. [2][3][4] Thereafter, the band played more regular punk rock and other styles. They also made some recordings and an album under the bandname Werewolves on Wheels, taken from the title of their second album, idea-influenced by various concept albums.[5][6][7] Homy Hogs are also known as characters in cartoonist Joakim Lindengren's comics.[8][9][10][11][12] The first album Nöje för nekrofiler (English: ”Fun for necrophiles”) was recorded and produced in 1981 by Mats “Subbe” Söderberg and released on the band's DIY label No Records.[13] LT and Gordis later started the record label Burn Records and ran it together with Fredrik Lindgren.[14] The original drummer Palle Krüger has played with different bands in Norway after his time in the Homy Hogs, made solo albums, and also been a session musician, among others with Staffan Hellstrand.[15]
