专辑介绍：
Longpigs是一支激情与勇气兼备有着显着旋律感但有些傲慢的英式乐队。他们在1994年在家乡Sheffield成立。
尽管他们在举行了他们首次小型演出以后便与一个大厂牌签约，但是随着公司的破产，特别是在新厂牌必须支付500,000英镑才能把他们赎回的不利条件下，他们的命运变得岌岌可危。最后他们进入U2的Mother唱片公司。
1996年初他们的单曲进入了英国榜Top40，随后进入Top20。他们在1997年为U2的巡回演出做开场嘉宾。
下面是原文：
A Britpop band with energy and grit besides the obvious melodic flair and arrogant airs, Longpigs formed in their hometown of Sheffield in 1994, around vocalist Crispin Hunt, guitarist Richard Hawley, bassist Simon Stafford and drummer Dee Boyle. Although they were signed to a major label just months after playing their first gig, the band were crushed when the label went under, especially since a new label would have to pay 500,000 to release them from their contract. Enter the deep pockets of U2's Mother Records, and Longpigs soon had a deal with Mother. Their single "Far" hit the U.K. Top 40 in early 1996, followed by the Top 20 entry "On and On." Their debut album, The Sun Is Often Out, was released in the U.K. in April 1996, and in America less than one year later. Longpigs toured with U2 as well, opening for the group on selected dates of their 1997 Popmart Tour.
关于本专辑
The Longpigs' debut album The Sun Is Often Out is an ambitious, darkly romantic album that owes quite a bit to the modernized anthem-rock of Radiohead. Although the band doesn't quite have Radiohead's talent for making the bombastic seem utterly personal, there are several moments of brilliance on the album particularly the singles "Far," "She Said" and "On and On" suggesting that their appealingly neo-gothic sonic textures will develop into something distinctive on their second album.
Longpigs并不是很出名（至少我以前没听说过），不出名的原因就是唱片公司拖累了他们（真是可惜）。不过听过了以后，发现相当好听。推荐。
