PISS - three demos - 7"

PISS in collaboration with The state51 Conspiracy is excited to release a limited 7” pressing of “three demos”.

In the span of two years, PISS has gone from a complete unknown in the Vancouver underground scene to an international touring act. The noise-punk quartet has never released a full-length record; their reputation grew from their frenetic, intimate live show and three self-produced demos.

These demos were recorded in Paterson’s basement apartment. For the vocal tracks, Paterson and Zantingh drove an old camper van to an industrial neighbourhood of Vancouver to avoid disturbing their neighbours. They were mixed by Paterson, with drums for two of three tracks engineered and tracked by Chris Bede.

BIO:

PISS is a noisy, genre-bending 4-piece punk band from Vancouver B.C. The band combines music, poetry, sound collage, performance art, and various mediums of visual art to address complex themes that blur the line between personal and political.

Powered by a combination of thoughtful musicianship, energetic live performances, and a crystal-clear vision of a safer underground community, PISS writes punk music that aims to transcend the limitations of a well-established genre by pulling inspiration from a wide range of unexpected influences: literary giants, philosophers, filmmakers, painters, psychoanalysts, activists, children, Zantingh’s therapist, members of a German anarcho-feminist militant group, and audience members from their shows, to name a few. These voices represent varying ideological beliefs about gender-based violence and enable PISS to create art that depicts challenging and controversial issues such as sexual violence and enculturated gender norms without reduction, romanticisation, polemics, or dogmatism.
