XII Boar have recently been confirmed for London’s Desertfest, and given that their new song ‘Chicken Hawk’ sounds like a bar brawl between Motörhead and Corrosion Of Conformity, we reckon they’ll feel right at home there. Don’t just take our word for it, though – head in here and listen to it for yourself…

The song is taken from the power trio’s forthcoming debut album, the aptly titled ‘Pitworthy’, which is sure to have fans of last year’s ‘Truck Stop’ single and the band’s previous two EPs grinning from ear to ear. ‘Chicken Hawk’ is a great example of their sound, featuring big, sleazy stoner rock riffs played at a frenetic, whiskey swigging tempo and backed by the burly, paint stripping vocals of guitarist Tommy Hardrocks.

They’ll join bands like Sleep, Red Fang, Eyehategod, Noothgrush, Ufomammut and more at this year’s Desertfest, which is due to take place on 24th-26th April around various venues in Camden, London. Tickets are available now.

‘Pitworthy’ is due out on March 9th and is available to pre-order here
