These guys are great. Raw, wasted Flipper/Black Flag noise, with it's own heart. I know next to nothing about this band, but they are kicking my drunk at 10 am ass. I'm a 32 year old canuck skateboarder dad that works the graveyard shift. Wicked! Anybody else heard this, or seen them live?

I was sure this was going to be a thread about Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.

i agree! everytime i see pissed jeans i love them more.

isnt this hari's band?

ME TOO

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

If I recall correctly, this band has more than once unsuccessfully attempted to play gigs here. I hope it works out for them (and us) someday.

I was sure this was going to be a thread about Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.

http://villagevoice.com/nyclife/0533,musto,66911,15.html

Of course there are more tastefully individualistic divas du jour—like the Black Eyed Peas' FERGIE, who, at Paper magazine's dinner at Luda in her honor, was sweet and effusive in all her Heatheretted-up glory. She was so sweet, in fact, that I hated to corner her with a pesky question involving personal hygiene. Had she seen the photo from their recent San Diego concert, linked on gawker.com, in which a giant, crescent-shaped stain jazzed up her pants crotch? (Reports claimed that since she and the Peas had arrived late, Fergie was in a bind and had to relieve herself onstage.) "I had a bad day that day," she told me, not moistening—or clarifying. Point taken—but did the Black Eyed pee? "No!" she exclaimed, half convincingly. "Well then," I generously stammered, "maybe it was perspiration?" She half nodded, still smiling, but being as much of a gentleman as she's a lady, I didn't pursue that or other far worse options. (You know . . . never mind.)

Gotta be one of my favorite records/bands of the last while. I love the wide-eyed No Trend/Flipper vibe and simpleton lyrics. Really a punch in the balls. I do have a feeling this stuff is smarter than its letting on. Who knew record-collector rock could be so much fun!

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:02 (twenty years ago)

haven't been able to locate this record yet but I dl'd "Closet Marine" off their site and have been blasting it big time ..... I want more.

― Renard (Renard), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:09 (twenty years ago)

i heard a crazy rumor about sub pop putting out a 7"...

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:15 (twenty years ago)

they are signed to sub pop

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

Renard, I believe it's available from the label: http://www.partsunknownrecords.com/

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:33 (twenty years ago)

thanks mcd

I had been hoping it would turn up at one of my usual physical store haunts but I will probably give up and go the mail order route soon

― Renard (Renard), Friday, 27 January 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

They rock.

They are going to break a lot of gay watersports enthusiast's hearts with that band name.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Friday, 27 January 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

this band is fucking great. swell guys, great music...anything that goes after drunks with guns, flipper, stickmen with rayguns, etc. is fine with me. they're sick live, too...but their sets are always cruelly short.

I do have a feeling this stuff is smarter than its letting on.

yeah, i mean it's a pretty deliberate attempt to mine sexual frustration/torpid deviance for lyrical content. works wonder, i say.

― m.c. (clikatowi), Friday, 27 January 2006 22:24 (twenty years ago)

These guys need desperately to tour the south.

― adam (adam), Saturday, 28 January 2006 00:41 (twenty years ago)

Oh Yes
'I'm Sick' is Killdozer and Flipper fkinFang and Black Flag. The 'lyrics' are way more Killdozer i.e funny as fk . It's a guy screaming about his runny nose , his dehydration and his high temperature. The guitar is an even more free form Greg Ginn with uncontrolled feedback everywhere.I always thought Ginn was the shitttiest and best guitarist ever. Sloppy but angry. Frstrated at his lack of finesse?

'Boring Girls' ....laugh, laugh to a Drunks With Guns one chord-a -thon about the beauty of the ladies.

To the thread originator, I'm almost 39 you young buck.

just got shallow last week - this record kicks ass. the beginning of "boring girls" totally annihilates me, just like "sister ray." i really want it to be warm outside and to be drunk.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 19:14 (twenty years ago)

My favorite new band.

The last time punk rock decked me in the head this hard was Fucked Up.

The Ginn-style guitar is so fucking visceral, and the rhythm section sometimes lopes into Jesus Lizard territory.

It's so cool to see bands revisiting the weird side of early-80s hardcore.

Listening to the 7" from Sub-Pop right now. "Don't Need Smoke..." is just killing it right now. Pissed Jeans is like what I hoped the Dirty Faces album on Brah would sound like.

― Dan Floss (Dan Floss), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

yeah it is a really good 7". "Don't Need Smoke" starts out like it's on the wrong speed but by the end it's a fuckin' tornado.

Shallow is my most listened to rock record in a long time

They've never had a bad album, but this new one is exceptionally good and might be my favorite since King of Jeans.

― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 21 March 2024 21:04 (two years ago)

some of their fans don't like it because it's more "punk" than "noise rock" but I'm ok with that, I think it's great

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 March 2024 17:04 (two years ago)

i like the new album but nothing really jumps out at me as a particular highlight/something i would add to a "best of pissed jeans" playlist other than "junk time" which is the most noise rock song on the album. but i probably need to listen to it more, a lot of the songs zip by very quickly. i love PJ for having humor in their songs but "everywhere is bad" is maybe 10% too jokey for me, and i don't love the chorus.

anyone know who's doing backup vocals on "seatbelt alarm silencer"?

― na (NA), Friday, 22 March 2024 17:12 (two years ago)

> "everywhere is bad" is maybe 10% too jokey

It's that way if I think about it too much, but when it just wheezes by it's great. "Junktime" is the best in their familiar way of oozing, but I love that they play a lot differently here overall. Agree that this is their best since King of Jeans.

― bendy, Friday, 22 March 2024 20:37 (two years ago)

Yeah "Junktime" is probably my favorite, but also love the breakneck punk ones.

― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 22 March 2024 20:38 (two years ago)

That hanging chord halfway through Junktime is tremendous. Really love the lead work on this album.

― bendy, Saturday, 23 March 2024 00:38 (two years ago)

Saw them play a lot of these songs live a week or so ago and they sounded excellent. "Junktime" was for sure the highlight but "Moving On' and "Killing All The Wrong People" sounded great too. "(Stolen) Catalytic Converter" is another highlight for me. Great album overall. Reminds me a bit of Hot Snakes more than their others. "Moving On" reminds me of "Plenty for All" a little bit.

as someone who loves pissed jeans but doesn't know much about hardcore, who would you say are their primary musical influences/predecessors?

― na (NA), Tuesday, 1 October 2024 16:38 (one year ago)

their big innovation is applying adult disillusionment to a genre built on youthful nihilism. But for the psychic horror, Flipper. For the ugly journeymenship, Poison Idea.
