 Review: Boss Hog's 'Whiteout'
The cover of their third album (and major-label debut), "Boss Hog," featured a spooky, Edward Gorey-style drawing of her wielding a parasol in a long fl dress, which didn't exactly prepare you to be dragged up five miles of gravel road by the opening track.
Boss Hog are still angry, still funny, and the creepy sci-fi vibe carries the same dark undercurrent they once expressed with a full-on assault.
In your review of Boss Hog's "Whiteout", you mentioned that she has "never sounded better" especially on the title track, I believe that it is actually the drummer Hollis Queens who sings the chorus in that one.

 Billboard.com - Discography - Boss Hog - Boss Hog
While Boss Hog's first album was a nearly unlistenable morass of aural sludge, six years later, their self-titled major-label debut turns out to be a very solid album in the same rootsy grit-rock vein as the Blues Explosion's best work.
Boss Hog also displays a far greater willingness to get funky than JSBX; they're not ready to face the Meters in a battle of "on the one," but the best cuts here boast a more sensuous feel for groove than the prime suspects have shown in the past.
In short, Boss Hog shows that somewhere down the line Spencer and Martinez learned the importance of getting a groove on, and though that groove is rough, noisy, and ill-tempered, you can still dance to it.

 Prindle Record Reviews - Boss Hog
But in 1995, when Hog signed to the majors, the line-up solidified and Martinez became the stronger influence in the band's personality by singing lead on most of the tracks, conducting most of the interviews, and, on their releases, plastering her image more prominently than those of her bandmates.
I doubt the Hogs (from NYC) were influenced by Nirvana (from Seattle) at this time particularly since, prior to the Great Grunge Rush of '91, most New Yorkers thought Seattle was part of Canada.
My thoughts are the Hogs are still somewhat embracing the "Pussy Galore" sound at this point in their careers and may also have been subconsciously sponging off of other acts.

Don't be fooled by the dreamy atmospherics, the sultry vocal ruminations, or the awkwardly funky new romantic synth beats; she's painting the picture of garage punk and new wave girl groups as refracted through a 21st century looking glass.
So, while it's occasionally as cheesy as Human League or as awkwardly skittish as the Rezillos, Whiteout ultimately finds Boss Hog able to manipulate the best of these associations to its benefit and remain as smoldering and funky as a hot NYC August night.

 Boss Hog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Joined by an organ/keyboard player schooled in every '60s RandB cliché in the book, Boss Hog powered through a fast and furious 17-song set in, oh, a little over a half an hour, as well as a four-tune encore that added another 10 minutes or so to the tally.
Indeed, when Boss Hog ended their encore with "I Dig You," it was hard not to notice how remarkably unencumbered Martinez is by any tangible sort of musical talent: she can't sing, she doesn't dance or even move very well, and she don't play no instrument.
Yet to her credit, she comes off as self-aware, cognizant of her limitations, even surprised to be getting away with "fronting" a band on such flimsy musical grounds.
