Homy Hogs was a Swedish punk band originating from Bro in Upplands-Bro Municipality in 1979. Their activity spanned until 1988, with intermittent pauses. Alongside groups such as Anti Cimex, Mob 47, and Headcleaners, they are credited as trailblazers in Swedish hardcore punk. Early notable works include the album Nöje For Nekrofiler (1981), the EP Smash Overdose (1982), and the demo tape Ljudfientlighet (1980). Subsequently, their sound evolved towards traditional punk rock and other genres, also producing music under the pseudonym Werewolves on Wheels, a concept inspired by thematic albums.
The band has been depicted as characters in comics by cartoonist Joakim Lindengren. Their 1981 album Nöje för nekrofiler ("Fun for necrophiles") was produced by Mats “Subbe” Söderberg and issued through their independent label No Records. Later, LT co-established the label Burn Records together with Fredrik Lindgren (known as Freddie Eugene). In 1997, LT provided backing vocals on Loud Pipes' punk album The Downhill Blues, which featured musicians from notable Swedish death metal bands like Unleashed, Entombed, and Merciless. Both LT (“Leffe”) and Gördis appear in Stig Larsson's autobiographical work När det känns att det håller på ta slut. Original drummer Palle Krüger embarked on a solo path and session work in Norway, collaborating with artists including Staffan Hellstrand.
