In an attempt to mix melodic pop with heavy rock and intelligent, meaningful lyrics, guitarist / vocalist / songwriter Ken Gordon and bassist Jim Holmes, who'd been at school together and Actually Played in the band Speed ??Auction, FORMED Incredible Hog in early 1972 , the name being a play Actually on the then highly popular 'Incredible Hulk' comic book series.
