The band performing at SO36 in 2018

Pisse (English translation: Piss) is a German punk band formed in 2012 in Hoyerswerda, Saxony.[1] Pisse is well-known within the new German punk scene,[2] having performed nationwide in cities such as Wuppertal,[3] Karlsruhe,[4] Munich,[5] and Zürich,[6] as well as outside the German-speaking world in Antwerp, Paris and Amsterdam.[7]

Pisse has released three full-length studio albums on the German independent label Phantom Records (not to be confused with the Australian label of the same name), as well as seven EPs.[8] Some of their releases are out of print and difficult to find.[8] Despite their obscurity, the band enjoys recognition from fans.[9]

Pisse is featured in the book "Damaged Goods: 150 Einträge in die Punk-Geschichte" also known as "Damaged Goods: 150 Entries into Punk History"[10] by music journalist Jonas Engelmann. Their song "Fahrradsattel", (which translates to Bicycle Seat in English) about wanting to be a woman's bicycle seat, went viral in 2021 via a trending audio on the social network TikTok.[11]

Style

[edit]

Musically, the band distinguishes itself through harsh, characteristic vocals, fast tempo, and the use of synthesizers and theremins.[12] In terms of their songs' lyrics and content Pisse primarily sings about common and relatable situations, but puts them within altered contexts. A lot their music has a tendency to lean towards heavier topics such as mental health issues (primarily insanity and depression), giving them a great voice of dark humor.[13]

German newspaper Die Tageszeitung considers Pisse a part of the German post-punk renaissance scene, a musical style inspired by the punk rockers of the 1980s.[1] Zusammen mit Puff! rates Pisse as "snottier" and "more sarcastic" than other bands, comparing them to another German punk band; Die Goldenen Zitronen.[citation needed]
