This is a cool track that was available on a split single out of Kitchener in the mid 1990s. Billy But had one side, and Piggy's Got The Conch had the other side.
The single, called "Pure Burek" is so named because the drummer for both bands was a guy named Jim Burek. I'm not sure of the whole story of why they did the split single, but it doesn't really matter. Piggy's Got The Conch were never exactly famous, but they should have been for having the greatest band name in rock history. The second best name in rock history was, of course, Napoleon Blownaparte...which was the same group of Kitchener rockers in the 1990s. Enjoy this track.

Update!
I heard from Jeff Appel, who was the bassist in Piggy (and Napoleon):
Also, I came out of retirement a few years ago to play in a band called firefly, we played about 70 gigs in 3 years of existence, had some chart action here and there and even were played on the cbc a couple of times--I am now playing with neil from that band and jim from piggy/nappy in the chrome hearts. (this time I'm really gonna make it big! and quit school in a blaze of glory) Larry from firefly played in a band from kitchener called the young pagans in the late 80's. Jim, mark, and I also played in a guelph based band in 88-89 called the Has-Beens from Outer Space (worst name ever) our career highlight was opening for the dayglo abortions at phils in waterloo.
