Noise punk outfit PISS shares new single 'time loop at hot slit' • GRIMM Gent

On October 30th, noisy, genre-bending four-piece PISS will release their debut effort, you made me / skin on linen, on LP/CD/CS/DSPs worldwide from Sub Pop and in Canada from Paper Bag Records. The Vancouver, B.C. band combines punk, poetry, sound collage, performance art, and visual art, creating a multidisciplinary body of work that blurs the line between personal and political.

you made me / skin on linen, depicts a childhood shaped by structural, systemic, and intimate violence. Throughout the record, art-making motifs serve as metaphors for the myriad ways we carry the effects of this violence: each experience leaves an impression, gradually creating or deforming the self, much like a piece of clay molded by every mark it receives. The record resists simple conclusions; rather than offering a single perspective, it examines violence as a ubiquitous facet of our culture. It asks questions—how does violence impact our development? Are our wounds inextricable parts of us? And if not, then where do our wounds end and we begin?—and allows the listener to devise their own answers.

Now, the band has shared their debut offering, “time loop at hot slit,” a frenetic noise-punk examination of girlhood in a culture of sexualization. The song pairs a danceable chorus with witty, poetic lyrics wailed in anguish and uncanny eroticism. This official video was co-directed by PISS frontperson Taylor Zantingh and Vivyen Sagsen. Filmed at the now-closed-down DIY space, Take Yr Time Back in Vancouver, BC, Zantingh shares: “Some of the people with whom I shared the earliest version of “time loop at hot slit” take the stage to sing it themselves.Our local scene has been singing this song with us for two years!! It’s very exciting to finally share it with the world, but no matter where it ends up, it will always belong to the femmes, queers, and weirdos in the Vancouver underground community <3”.

PISS will embark on an international headline and festival tour beginning on September 3rd in Margate, UK at Where Else?, running through November 14th in London, UK at the Moth Club.
