Blues Pills new single "Piggyback Ride" out now

Gearing up for the release of their new album "Birthday" this August 2nd, Blues Pills release the fourth single from their forthcoming album entitled "Piggyback Ride". Listen here.

“This is my favourite single from the album” states frontwoman Elin Larsson. Guitarist Zack continues “This track is so experimental for us, it went in a lot of unexpected directions, and it’s definitely the heaviest track on the new record” “It goes all crazy” agrees Elin “It’s really fun, I enjoy the effect on my vocals - I told our producer, ‘I really want to sound like a pig can you pitch me down?’” Elin laughs “I’m going to need to have a lot of swag on this song when we do it live this Autumn, it’s got a strut to it. Those pigs have real attitude!”

The new single "Piggyback Ride" was inspired by the pigs in Elin’s neighbourhood. Elin clarifies: “You search for inspiration and sometimes it comes from the wildest places. I live in the smallest little town near Västerås in Sweden, and it’s had a lot of problems with the wild pigs in the woods. They destroy playgrounds and people’s gardens like a bad biker gang of hogs running amok. There’s a lot of them, they’re just living their own wild life with no rules. I felt so sorry for them as I think they were misunderstood but at the same time, they can be really dangerous, especially if they have babies.” Elin continues “I was just thinking about these pigs and wanted to write a song about them, like what would it be like to hang out with them, and ride around on their pig backs, causing mayhem!”
