Pisse (Germany) + God's Hand + Pest Heaven

Pisse is a German punk band formed in Hoyerswerda in 2012. She is known throughout Germany within the punk scene. Although Pisse, in contrast to other bands, has little internet presence and is generally rather rare, it enjoys great popularity.

Musically, the band expresses itself through rough, characteristic vocals, fast tempo and the use of the synthesizer and the theremin. In terms of content, everyday situations are primarily taken up and placed in a humorous context, but with a tendency towards madness and depression.

Jens Uthoff from the taz reckons it to be part of the post-punk renaissance in Germany, which picks up on this genre of music from the 1980s. Together with Puff! Pisse is rated as "snottier" and "sarcastic" than other such bands and compared to the fun punk of the band Die Goldenen Lemons.


God's Hand is a pantheon of some of Iowa City's underground prime players serving up that claustrophobic dark heat post-punk. I bet Tony Wilson woulda loved them, if they got haircuts and matching outfits.


Pest Heaven is emo/grunge/indie from members of IC hardcore gadabouts, Psyop.
