PISS

PISS is a noisy, genre-bending four-piece band from Vancouver, B.C. Combining punk,

poetry, sound collage, performance art, and visual art, the band creates a

multidisciplinary body of work that blurs the line between personal and political.

Powered by thoughtful musicianship, energetic live performances, and a crystal-clear

artistic mission, PISS writes punk music that aims to transcend the limitations of a

well-established genre. Their work draws inspiration from a range of unexpected

influences: literary giants, philosophers, filmmakers, painters, psychoanalysts, activists,

children, members of a German anarcho-feminist militant group, and conversations with

audience members. 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, romanticization, polemics, or dogmatism.
