THE PORKERS

The Porkers are an Australian ska punk band from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.

In 1994, their debut album Grunt! received rave reviews and entered the American market through Moon Ska Records. The album was a mixture of studio and live tracks, and included covers of Devo‘s Mongoloid and Radio Birdman‘s Aloha Steve and Danno.

The Porkers have toured extensively throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Germany and Japan (a live album recorded in Japan was released in 2004). In Australia, they have supported groups such as No Doubt, Fishbone, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Rancid.

After over twenty years, there have been numerous changes in The Porkers’ line-up, but two of the original members are still in the band: frontman Pete Porker, and Bigfil on saxophone.
