	The Oberlin Review \\ Arts Article
		Time would prove that Christina Martinez was no third guitarist for anyone, and when things with Pussy Galore eventually got rocky Boss Hog was born with Martinez in the spotlight.
		To be sure, the band that resurrected rock n' roll for a new generation of angst-ridden teenagers with the 1987 release of their astonishing full-length debut, Appetite for Destruction, was dead, slain by a lethal combination of drugs, oversized egos and internal feuding.
		As the final chapter in the legacy of a great band that chose to crash and burn rather than fade away into obscurity, it is a valuable asset to any collection, and it shows that the GN'R catalogue has lost little of its edge over the years.

	Cristina's biography
		On the spur of the moment they decided the new band's name, "Boss Hog", which was taken from a biker magazine (not from the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV show, as is usually assumed).
		She wanted to ask band's members permission for taking pictures of their performance.
		Jon was already singing and playing guitar for a brand new noise band called Pussy Galore.

	Pussy Galore: Re-Issues
		The fact that the band consisted of future members of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Royal Trux and Free Kitten amongst others, shouldn't matter to you unless you are obsessing over that stuff.
		Led by Mr Jon Spencer, Pussy Galore released between 1986 - 1990 some of the most awe-inspiring punk rock since that kind of thing was invented by the Rats and Sonics way back in 1965.
		Mute Records will be re-releasing the following Pussy Galore releases on both CD and vinyl:

	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.
		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.
		The band experiments with back masking, tempo changes (slowing things way down on some cuts) and volume (quieting things down to the point where you think the disc is over).

	Columbus Alive
		The records he made with the band are the bridge between the incredible racket he made with Pussy Galore and what’s become his stock-in-trade with the Blues Explosion and, to a lesser extent, Boss Hog, the band led by his wife, Christina Martinez, in which he plays guitar.
		It wasn’t even so much playing with them, but just listening to their records and watching their concerts before I was lucky enough to join the band.
		After the dissemination of his seminal noisefuck band Pussy Galore, and before hooking up with guitarist Judah Bauer and drummer Russell Simins to form the Blues Explosion, Spencer spent a spell with local legends the Gibson Bros., playing on the less bizarre half of The Man Who Loved Couch Dancing and Memphis Sol Today!

	Three Cheers For Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Major Label Deal

		The label will be releasing the band’s debut full length on April 29, which is rumored to be titled Fever To Tell.
		The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who on the strength of their first two EPs have managed to become the next big buzz, have just inked with Interscope Records.

	Boss Hog - Whiteout (In The Red) - Drawer B Review
		Whiteout is the sound of a band in dire need of some drugs, some perverted sex, or a kick in the face- just something to make it sound alive.
		On Whiteout the band returns to its roots (sort of) with a semi-nude shot of Christina, but it’s far from the turn-on you’d expect.
		I’m not sure if Whiteout is a pun, but this album couldn’t be less funky or raucous than if it had five of the whitest people you’ve ever seen playing on it.

	musikkguiden groove.no - anmeldelse: Steve Fisk - 999 Levels Of Undo (2001)
		Fisk var produsent for sentrale band som Nirvana, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden og Beat Happening helt i begynnelsen av deres karriere, og har senere på 90-tallet jobbet med band som The Wedding Present, Unwound, Treepeople, Low, Posies, Boss Hog og Soul Coughing.
		Steve Fisk var en sentral figur i grunge-bølgen som i stor grad ble frigjort gjennom plateselskapene Subpop, SST og K-records i årene før og etter 1990.
		Fisk har med seg mange partnere, men han trakterer alle samples, som albumet er fullt av, og øvrige instrumenter som Mellotron, synthesizer og elektrisk orgel selv.

	Kepone & Boss Hog - live
		I was never a fan of Boss Hog, but I did want to see them.
		The sound was not bad, but Kepone couldn't really convince me. Maybe because the sound was still a bit too meagre (although the voices came out well), which made them sometimes sound like a heavy metal band.
		The support band was also worth going for: Kepone had knocked me off my feet with their latest album Skin, and I wanted to see what they would be like on stage.

		After serving as the eye-opening act for the likes of the Flaming Lips and Boss Hog, the Zoobombs landed a Japanese label deal and recorded the lucky 13 tunes collected on their abovementioned Emperor Norton domestic debut.
		(The band's name is an intentional corruption of zubon, the Japanese word for trousers!) Inspired by audiences' reaction to their explosive live shows, the Zoobombs began selling self-produced tapes at their gigs, establishing Bo-Zoobombs (the Zoobomb Times, a monthly newsletter) and Zoobomb-sha (the Zoobomb Company; headed by Kumaku, the bear that adorns all their merchandise!).
		And, yes, the Zoobombs are wholly rock 'n' rollers Ð "Don's Dream" envisions Sister Ray in the middle of a particularly corrosive acid flashback Ð but they're no mere tent-show revivalists.

	betterPropaganda - free MP3 downloads Yeah Yeah Yeahs
		In 2001, Yeah Yeah Yeahs recorded their self-titled EP with Boss Hog's Jerry Teel and released it on their own imprint, Shifty.
		The album called Fever To Tell, released on Interscope Records, was widely embraced by critics and fans, even by those who panned the band's prior releases.
		Most evident in their remix of "Pin," which ended up as more of a soundscape sounding like the bridge when a fuzzy dream becomes a blurry nightmare, was its intented sentiment: beautiful with a tinge of horror.

	HIGH BIAS -- Album Reviews
		But the sheer force of pavement-crushing tunes like "Money Man," "Chemical Lady" and "Boss Hog" hold up nicely to the band's forebears, and the group's way with melody indicates a creative ambition not often found in 70s grunge revivalists.
		The first two disks are packed with tracks from representative Merge acts like Neutral Milk Hotel, Polvo, M. Ward and, of course, Superchunk, but the killer is disk 3, which adds rare and unreleased cuts from folks like David Kilgour, the Clientele and Portastatic that stands up to anything officially released.
		Merge, originally started by North Carolina's Superchunk as a way to release its own music, is nearly two decades old, and the imprint celebrates with a 3-CD compilation that benefits the Future of Music Coalition [http://www.futureofmusic.org].

	Bloodshot Records: Bobby Bare Jr.
		In the late 90’s, he fronted the boss hog rock band, Bare Jr.
		With their two records, "Boo-tay" and "Brainwasher," they memorably rocked out on a Nirvana-on-Skynryd-not-Sabbath groove, more indebted to the homebrew than "The Other H." These days he keeps himself even busier by appearing on album by indie rock heroes like the Silver Jews and Frank Black.
		Few that we have found can combine humor, pain, and anger in such an effortlessly well-crafted manner.

	NEWSARAMA - 90's albums
		Both the Boss Hog albums are good, but I'm partial to the first album.
		The album came out around the same time as lots of other Trip-Hop/Trip-Pop and could not be called a 'Break Out' album for the band.
		Their next album, Electric Honey?, that was pretty good as well.

	eye - Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - 12.10.98
		Spencer may be prepping the Blues Explosion for Y2K (he and wife Cristina should also have a new Boss Hog record ready for the spring), but that hasn't stopped him from going back to the grave of Pussy Galore.
		It's a shame, because I think the Blues Explosion is a great rock 'n' roll band, but there's people that still don't want to give us a break.
		Mostly blues academics and bleeding-heart critics who insist real bluesmen wouldn't dare fuck with Keith Richards' riffs, cop James Brown's stage moves, liquefy Isaac Hayes' buttery funk or swipe beats from Dr. Dre, much less mix it all up with gunpowder and light the fuse.

	John Spencer Blues Explosion 1994
		There were rumours that once the tour finished Jon was going to hang up his blues explosion spurs and return to Boss Hog.
		We talk about their Matador released LP "Extra Width" (one of the highlights of last year), an impending tour of America with the Breeders, the Strangely named Theramin, their musical cv's and despite not having a bass player, The Blues explosion are a proper band!!
		The personalities on display are what makes the Blues explosion a not-to-be-missed experience The relentless twin guitar attack(sic) combines with Russells even more relentless drumming.

	The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Orange - Release Music Magazine review
		Guitarist Neil Hagerty went on to form the duo Royal Trux, one of the last truly groundbreaking rock acts, while singer Jon Spencer first formed the violent Boss Hog with his wife Cristina Martinez and a few years later found his true place: as spellbinding front figure of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
		There, Jon Spencer finally seems to be secure in his vocalist role, while the band musically has found the perfect balance between freeform noise, sweat-dripping rhythms and rock mythology.
		The bassless trio of the Blues Explosion proved capable of making some of the noisiest, most hip swivelling and sexy rock'n'roll of the 90's.
