Debut album tackles VSS issues

The Canadian punk hardcore band PISS has released its debut album, you made me / skin on linen, which focuses on sexual and gender-based violence, drawing from singer Taylor Zantingh's personal experiences. The album's themes are described as confrontational, aiming to provoke rather than comfort listeners.

Media highlights album's impact

According to the British music website NME, the album "is not here to provide music that makes people comfortable." Similarly, the cultural website Far Out noted that while it may not be an album everyone wants to listen to, it is one that everyone needs to listen to, emphasizing its importance in addressing serious social issues.

Band's background and release details

PISS, formed in 2024, previously released three demos on Bandcamp, which have been integrated into you made me / skin on linen. The album was released by Sub Pop, a well-known independent music label, and has gained attention through the band's intense live performances.

Live performances and upcoming event

Taylor Zantingh's emotionally charged delivery during live shows, supported by the band's energetic musicians, has contributed to PISS's growing popularity. The group is set to perform in Paris on November 7, adding to their live event schedule.

Album as an emotional outlet

As described by the British music media Line of best fit, PISS functions as a 'rage room' for Zantingh, a space where she can express her anger and frustration about the issues she addresses in her music.
