Problem Patterns are not limited by age or ability or binary identities. They don't have a front person, they swap instruments and roles to ensure that each member of the group has a voice. The band’s admiration for Bikini Kill and the riot grrrl movement led to an online conversation with the artist Kathleen Hanna, who advised them from her Los Angeles porch. She told them that if there wasn’t a backlash, then Problem Patterns weren’t doing their job properly.
We think it's fair to say they're doing their job properly... You will too with this brand new debut album. F**k YESSSSS! On pink vinyl limited to 700 copies, do get in quickly. This is one of the very best. Shipping in time for release day on 27th October.

In this house there’s no room for debate
No place for the crooked who can’t be made straight
Who we are is not wrong just ‘cause you can’t relate
Your ‘loving the sinner’ still feels like hate
Look, your writings and traditions have always been viewed
In light of reason and experience - but of only a few
Why don’t we open it up? What have you got to lose?
Can your superiority complex not handle the truth?
I’m standing up for who I believe in
(And) getting knocked back (you) say I’m acting the heathen
Life isn’t so black and white
Try keeping yourself right
I’m standing up for who I believe in
You can’t fire me I’m leaving
I’m the bad boy stumbling out to smoke
I stopped caring what you think of me long ago
I can’t go back to act in your performative show
I’ve got hundreds of suits but no place to go
Tear it all down
Tear it down and start again
Tear it all down, Tear it down
Tear it down and start again
Afrofuturist punk from Philly that twists the hardcore sounds of '90s DC and San Diego into a seething mass of wires and roots. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 3, 2019
Melbourne-based Slush's debut EP is filled with feminist, punky-pop tunes that make for an exciting introduction to their music. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2019
supported by 18 fans who also own “Letter of Resignation”
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
