You can see them live Saturday night at The Pearl.<\/p>\n
In what continues to be a standout year for Vancouver music, rising hardcore outfit PISS has released its debut album.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the band’s new record\u00a0you made me \/ skin on linen\u00a0was released on Paper Bag Records in Canada and Sub Pop around the globe.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the album release, PISS had shared songs “Rote Zora. ‘Resistance is Possible.’ Emma, no. 6, June 1984, pp. 39-41.,”\u00a0“blocking a scene you can\u2019t remember,”\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0“time loop at hot slit.”<\/p>\n
And on Friday PISS also released “i wanted to be a singer,” as a single.<\/p>\n
Lead singer Taylor Zantingh describes the track as a sludgy, jarring noise-rock song.<\/p>\n
“Using plain language, the singer directly addresses the listener without literary devices or narrative techniques. It is an introduction to the album: this record is not entertainment but a necessity born from the impossibility of writing truth without addressing this trauma,”\u00a0Zantingh says in a press release.\u00a0“It contrasts childhood dreams of performing with a painful reality, and forces listeners to confront that reality before they engage with the record.”<\/p>\n
Along with bandmates\u00a0Tyler Paterson (guitar), Gavin Moya (bass) and Garreth Roberts (drums),\u00a0Zantingh depicts a childhood shaped by structural, systemic\u00a0and intimate violence on the new record.<\/p>\n
you made me \/ skin on linen was recorded\u00a0in January 2025 with Colin Stewart at Hive Creative Labs in Victoria.<\/p>\n
The release comes as the band comes off a North American tour with Gilla Band.<\/p>\n
