    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.

lyrics

You bought out the stock at Oxfam
To cut it up and make a profit
While somebody scraped their pennies
But can’t find a thing that fits

It must be nice to know you’d be alright if you quit
When you’re much better off than you are willing to admit

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist

It’s so nice that you can holiday
In my financial insecurity
By acting like the working class
With your affected accent, post punk band

Purge a vulnerable community while you remain shameless
Cuz you’d step over anyone for the chance to be famous

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist

Isn’t it funny that being perceived as having no money is profitable
You get to play dress up
While others struggle to keep up
But you stay ignorant
It’s despicable

We know who you really are
Poverty tourist
