PISS recently played an indelible set at KEXP, performing 11 songs in sequential order from their forthcoming debut full-length. The session was hosted by Sonic Reducers’ Brian Foss; you can watch HERE. In other exciting news, PISS has graced the covers of EXCLAIM in Canada (read HERE) and NME in the UK (read HERE.) 

PISS is Taylor Zantingh (vocals), Tyler Paterson (guitar), Gavin Moya (bass), and Garreth Roberts (drums). The band recorded their debut album, you made me / skin on linen, in January 2025 with Colin Stewart at Hive Creative Labs. The album is forthcoming on October 30, 2026, via Paper Bag Records (Canada) and Sub Pop Records (worldwide).
 
The Vancouver, B.C., four-piece combines punk, poetry, sound collage, performance art, and visual art, creating a multidisciplinary body of work that blurs the line between the personal and the 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.
