Pissed Jeans - Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars in Debt

[thesearenotphotographs]

Pissed Jeans at Roberta’s

Full gallery available here.

For the second year in a row, Creem Magazine took over the backyard of Roberta’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn for an entire day for a show called Summer Sunburn. This year’s event began in the afternoon but since I was shooting something else, I didn’t arrive until right before Pissed Jeans took the stage as the headlining act.

The quartet from Pennsylvania performed songs from their new record, Half Divorced, along with playing older material and ending the show with “False Jesii Part 2,” from their 2009 album, King of Jeans, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year and has a reissued LP that you can purchase from the Sub Pop Records webstore here.

I realized during their set that I’ve been seeing them perform live for over a decade now and I’m so grateful that they’re still going strong albeit $62,000 in debt.

This One Song… Pissed Jeans on Junktime

Tell you what – we love hearing from artists when things go right. We equally love hearing from artists when things go dreadfully wrong. A song that was a piece of piss, written in 20 minutes? Or years in the making and a bastard to write? Whether it’s a song that came together through great duress or one that was smashed out in a short amount of time, we’re getting the lowdown from some of our…

Pissed Jeans – Rough Trade NYC – June 7, 2018

If you’re not moving fast enough, Pissed Jeans will move you. Maybe you’re like a chair—they have this real smacker of a song, you know, called “Have You Ever Been Furniture”—and that chair’s in the way of a full-scale stampede out the door, and despite its sturdy constitution, has no chance of staying put. A sludgy, sinewy punk band with an angsty attitude big enough for an aircraft carrier, Pissed Jeans have been blazing for years now, visiting New York City at least a few times a year from their home base in Philadelphia. Thursday’s headlining show at Rough Trade NYC felt like the unloading—unburdening!— of a long week.

Over time, their albums have gotten sharper sounding—less trashy lo-fi—but they’ve never not sounded like they’re bracing for impact, whether in a viciously defiant, howling kind of way or a dirge-y, stomping one. They’re still tearing T-shirts, assaulting microphone stands, affixing twisted smiles and bug-fuck stares at their audience, and spinning tunes that span everything from the indignities of the coddled man-child to astrology and TV romance.

Let’s see, standouts: “The Bar Is Low” and “Ignorecam” are things to be pummeled by—the former stabbing, the latter more of a sledgehammer with scream-bellow vocals atop. I’m partial to “False Jesii Part 2,” which makes the Jesus Lizard sound calm and librarylike, and “Bathroom Laughter,” that TV-lampooning song with the wackadoo QVC-informercial-parody video, which is flamethrower punk and hardcore. Start anywhere. You’ll get your head torn off and you won’t mind. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

Album Review: Pissed Jeans - ‘Why Love Now’

For Pissed Jeans, adulthood and suburban normalcy are both muses behind their fulfillment and misery. Despite being signed to one of the largest indies at Sub Pop, the Pennsylvanian hardcore-noise rockers are one of the label's least active bands on its roster, proudly playing good husband and dad duties with day jobs that keep them off the road, and their outputs to a minimum. Four years ago, insurance auditor / snarling frontman double-threat Matt Korvette and his co-conspirators released their critical comeback Honeys, an LP that focused Pissed Jeans' brand of chaotic thrash around well-rounded rock 'n roll cohesion while confronting a lifestyle at odds with itself. They did such a good job at playing up the part of the tormented Family Man for modern times, that it left you wondering if these four sludgemuckers were in the autumn of their edgy sound.

Since then, the landscape of society has terrifyingly aligned in their favor, and where albums like their sophomore breakthrough Hope for Men and King of Jeans arrived at a time when loud rock wasn’t necessarily at odds with anyone in particular, their latest softly-titled effort Why Love Now finds them more comfortable in a confrontational skin that adds to a shitscraping abrasiveness. In short, it’s an outlet that allows these dudes to blow off pent-up steam in the face of misogyny, cultured versions of masculinity, and a bro culture caught in a state of arrested development. Equally rewarding, however, is that Pissed Jeans’ self-gratifying through the destruction of others recommits them to pigfucking the soundboards on Why Love Now. Helmed in joint by punk rock icon Lydia Lunch and Arthur Rizk (Title Fight, Prurient) the tandem captures a new apex in the band's loud stomp without castrating the quartet's ballsy nerve endings. Pissed Jeans hybrid of hardcore and noise has always grinded against stereos with visceral pounce and an ugly snarl -- all awesomely physical -- yet Why love Now is where that strange craft or rocking hard and rolling through dirt hits its stride in poignant contrast to its themes. In a day in age where pussy grabbers become presidents or that newlywed dude at work who everybody thinks is just fine and nice is actually a narcissistic douche banging some chick he met online behind his wife’s back, tackling the male ego with angst and soul-sucking truths is the kind of thing that Korvette's grating perspective was tailor made to tear apart. "Waiting On My Horrible Warning" is a slowed lurch of reverb and cheesy horror film synths that mirror the denial of burned-out working man whose privilege has left him gnawing away at past peaks in the present. “Every day, I used to play in punk / Now I’m just singing the blues,” he shovels gravel down the grave.

"The Bar Is Low" pricks the adrenaline shot into the album while simultaneously, setting the pace of outing every man as a creep through a flurry of rhythmic blitzkrieg via Sean McGuiness and Randy Huth drum and bass overload, which reappears like clockwork throughout the listen (the fetish shamers “Ignorecam” and "Cold Whip Cream,” the self-hating whiner "Why Love Now.") Korvette's bestial grunt often bleeds into one with the bevy of decibels laid to waste, yet "Not Even Married" supplies the second to best loudest lyrical highlights as he rips into regular guys in their post-breakup phase romanticizing their depression and leaning hard into their own sad Cobain syndrome, when the reality is that there wasn’t much on the line of their relationship to begin with. (The album’s first place slam is credited to guest vocalist and acclaimed writer Lyndsay Hunter with her gory portrait of man as a masturbating gorilla with entitlement issues on “I’m a Man”.)

You could argue that the targets on Why Love Now are almost too easy for a band like Pissed Jeans, especially when today’s dudes who rep themselves as “alpha as fuck” seemingly get butt-hurt over any criticism calling out for their own shortcomings as human beings. That overbearing feeling of becoming an extinct species defecated on with criticism daily while trying to “make it” in the remnants of a broken society is their own undoing, however, and Pissed Jeans have merely written an honest depiction of how the reality of today's measure of a man leaves no room for excuses. Why Love Now is wonderfully cynical and far removed from falsely delivering positive reinforcement, but sometimes the truth that hurts is the truth that gets you to evolve. If there was ever an instruction manual for all boys out there learning how to "be a man", Why Love Now is a good start if they heed its warnings.

Pissed Jeans’ Why Love Now will be released February 24th on Sub Pop.
