Beyond the Pig: Jam with the Influence on Pig Radio

Ignore the album title (Pig Radio). Ignore the album cover (hand-drawn pigs on a hot pink background). Then press “Play.”

The Influence serve up jam rhythmic pods on a platter of folk-influenced American rock akin to first generation Train These Jam Band pods like the bridge on “The Following” come along with hand-wagging, soul-infected vocals by Matthew Archer Stephenson, but with an arena, anthemic vista within.

Throw your arms up open wide in a shout to the world while there’s still some boogie-on-down around the holler.
