Ska, reggae, punk, ragga, metal, some might say Reggae-metal. And if you listen real close maybe we sound like Bad Manners, The Bosstones, Rancid, Devo, Sublime, and the Stray Cats - all trying to play the same song all at once! (and not agreeing on a tempo!)
2009 marks the 22th anniversary of Australian band The Porkers, who play a mix of ska, rock and reggae with a whole bunch of other influences thrown in. They've released a whole bunch of albums and ep's independantly on Pete's Sound System label, added to that they've had releases worldwide in USA, Japan, Brazil and many others. They've toured USA, Japan, New Zealand and Europe as well as countless trips around Australia. They've played with the who's who of 'real' music scene, from The Cramps to The Royal Crown Revue, from No Doubt to Suicidal Tendencies, and they've given a leg up to many upcoming bands. 22 years on The Porkers are uncomprimising and unrelenting.

Just wanted to let you know about the "Soul Shakedown Party".
It's going to be a relaxed afternoon of sweet, sweet music, just a block away from Newcastle Beach. The DJs will take you back in time to the golden years of Reggae & Soul... the 1960s, playing only the best vintage Reggae, Soul, Ska, Rocksteady, Raw Soul and Northern Soul.
It's at a great venue, The View Factory. It's the perfect place to chill out for a few beers and a bite to eat.
In the words of the great Bob Marley "We gonna have a soul shakedown party!".
