AVERT YOUR eyes if you pine for retina-detaching graphics, ball-grabbing sub-heads and low-depth articles, and welcome to Porky Prime Cuts, where passion ain’t a fashion, where pop and politics are bedfellows and the world’s finest albums are being released from a bedroom in Shitsville.
Porky is a bona fide doctor of music, purveying his eyes and ears over the latest sounds whether they be from Invercargill or Inverurie; Kingston-upon-Hull or Kingston, Jamaica.
We’re lo-fi and fucki*g proud of it. Your grandmother could probably make a glossier blog. But.
Porky detects and dissects great new albums, and spits on the covers of the mediocre. An album is not a product but a statement of intent.
The filthy pig interviews artists, features bands, spraffs on about anything that capture’s his imagination: fanzines, football, men’s knitting clubs.
Get in touch.

Hi Graig
Enjoyed the site and the reviews, not sure I have anything you would want as I have mostly NZ Jazz, but will keep you in mind all the same.
Cheers
Graeme

Hello Porky,
Thanks, I am the 5:30 hero!
I enjoyed your review….a very adroit and insightful piece indeed; although I can’t really say we quit because of a lack of recognition as such; more a case of combined spiritual malady I’d say….but hey, the past is the past and it’s just good to know some one still gets those old tunes!
All the best

Thanks Tara, and good to have a clarification for the reasons behind the split. Judging by various comments and other stuff on the web I reckon there must be a fair few folk who remember 5:30 quite fondly. Maybe one day there’ll be a compilation of b-sides and odds and sodds?
