Formed in 2009 by Mauricio "Mo" Ortega, Pigweed is an alterna<ve nu-metal band from San Antonio, Texas. They bring a fresh spin to the style with an unsurpassed signature sound that some claim as “nu-metal with a modern twist”. Its this versa<le style that, once you get a taste, keeps you wan<ng and begging for more. Combined with their ferocious live show, Pigweed has remained one of the hardest hiLng bands in South Texas. Make no mistake, Pigweed is a well oiled metal machine ready for world domina<on. Being no strangers to the road, Pigweed has graced the stage of numerous famed music fes<vals and toured the country coast to coast, finishing their first na<onal tour with A Killer's Confession. These road dogs have earned their stripes, having the pleasure of sharing the stage with interna<onal acts such as Flaw, Butcher Babies, Tallah, Sick Puppies, Volbeat, Mushroomhead, Hed PE, Ill Nino, KiLe, Motograter, Otep, Saliva, 36 Mafia, Drowning Pool, Puddle of Mudd, Powerman 5000, Twizted, Stabbing Westward, Nonpoint, and Escape The Fate, to name a few. In 2016, Pigweed signed a Distribu<on deal with Chicago’s Pavement Entertainment, marking the next phase of their musical journey. On March 9, 2018, they released their breakout debut full length effort under the Pavement label, <tled, “The Weight”. With its full and rich gut-punch produc<on and earwig hooks, Pigweed set the bar as a THE nu-metal act to reckon with. In 2020, Pigweed proac<vely decided to take the bull by the horns, self-releasing a new single called “Salva<on” featuring guest vocals from Christain Machado of Ill Nino fame. Yet another rung up the ladder. Following that, in 2021 they released another barn burner of a single, <tled “Save Me”, just in <me for fes<val season hype. Nu-metal monsters Pigweed are making all the right moves, con<nuing to make their name and build their fanbase with tremendous pit anthems and a DIY drive like no other. iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii O F F I C I A L P R E S S K I T FFO: Slipknot, Nonpoint, Soulfly iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii S O C I A L S iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 1 - N E W S I N G L E PIGWEED IS (L-R): Alex Canales - Backing Vocals | Danny Young - Guitar Walter Moreno - Drums | Bryan Henderson - Bass | David Magallanez - Vocals Corey Epps - Guitar | Mauricio Ortega - Guitar/Vocals iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii L I S T E N iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii iiiiiiiii WATCH THE VIDEO iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii p i g w e e d b a n d 2 1 0 @ g m a i l . c o m C O N T A C T P R E S S / B O O K I N G M A N A G E M E N T D a v i d M a g a l l a n e z ( 2 1 0 ) 2 6 0 - 9 5 9 4 D e r e k P i c h o n - 4 3 4 M a n a g e m e n t ( 9 8 5 ) 9 6 0 - 3 8 2 0
