Punk blues band that at its debut did not so much whet the appetite of the audience by the raw sound it produced as it did by singer Cristina Martinez stripping off almost all her clothes for the mini-album Drinkin', Lechin' & Lyin'.
A pair of black boots reaching almost to the waist, completed by stiletto heels, and a few hand- and arm-covering black gloves had to keep Cristina from catching a cold.
The name Boss Hog is easily explained: boss is slang for something that is excellent and a hog is among others a heavy motorcycle equipped with high handlebars.

The band name is borrowed from the title of a short story by William Faulkner. The author wrote it in six weeks while he had a job at a power station. A 'tour de force' according to Faulkner.
With regards to the title: Faulkner in his turn took it from Book XI of Homer's Odyssey, in which Agamemnon says to Odysseus (in the English translation that we used as source):

Alternative rock and post hardcore band from San Diego, California. In fact it is a spin-off of the band Blink-182 (see there) consisting of guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker.
The latter apparently is fascinated by the 'end of times' theme, in the context of which he began to wonder if Bible book Revelation may actually be describing the end of the world.
Inspired, he chose a name for the project with DeLonge that refers to the Box Car (literally: railway wagon) that put an end to WWII: the B-29 bomber named Bockscar that dropped the second American atom bomb, the Fat Man, on Japanese city Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
DeLonge came to regret the band name choice, but there was no way back, as so often is the case in matters related to atom bombs.
By the way, the name of the B-29 has nothing to do with the end of the times. Bockscar is a reference to the pilot who flew the plane, captain Frederick C. Bock.
