Why would you call your band that, knowing that radio aren't gonna touch you?

I don't think they're aiming for radio play based on the 2 songs I have heard by them.

They wouldn't be allowed to mention the band name on radio dawg.

yeah, if you listen to this it is very much not intended to be radio-friendly in the slightest - it is EXCELLENT though, would highly recommend it (with the catch that it is very emotionally powerful so listen with discretion)

Oh no, can anyone tell them that their name is not radio friendly, they must have not realised that!!

The irony is that I discovered them through blocking a scene you can't remember being played on 6Music in the morning! They just said they can't say their name but it's a word for 'wee'

Will definitely check this album out, I have heard a few other songs and they point to a very striking sound.

genuinely shocked they played blocking a scene... on 6 Music - they played it in full (albeit at 1:50 am but still!)

Oh cool - the CD is available at JPC. My first PISS CD 😄

i need a PISS and Lambrini Girls collab RIGHT NOW

The album was as intense and vulnerable as hoped based on the couple of songs I knew before going in.

'i wanted to be a singer' and 'i keep trying to change the ending' hit me the hardest of those I wasn't already familiar with 🖤

absolutely stunning album with such a strong and important message x

Indeed, a really powerful and important album to hear. It works really well as an emotional narrative, starting on literal childhood innocence before the angry, intense reality hits. Not enough artists (let alone on their debut) are bold enough to be so visceral and open on the brutal realities of trauma and sexual assault and of course, is very timely given the multitude of real world examples we're seeing.

I really loved 'i keep trying to change the ending' and the latter half of the album in particular, it starts leaning more into atmosphere and post rock which is an effective contrast to the intensity of before.
