About the Band
PISS are a four-piece outfit whose live performances blur the lines between music, performance art, and raw protest. Their sound combines abrasive punk energy with spoken word passages, sound collage, and visual elements. Each set is more than a gig—it’s a full-body confrontation with themes of systemic violence, gender politics, personal trauma, and power.
The band has built a reputation for turning chaotic, noisy textures into cathartic explosions, with every performance challenging the boundary between artist and audience. They’re less about entertainment and more about creating an unfiltered moment of truth, and in that, they’ve struck a chord with underground music communities across continents.
The Bristol Show
The Exchange show will be an intimate opportunity to experience PISS at close quarters. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with tickets priced at £11.25 including booking fees. The venue operates an age policy of 14+, with under-18s needing to attend with an adult. With a capacity of around 500, the night promises to be a visceral and direct encounter with a band known for breaking down barriers.
Support acts have yet to be confirmed, but the evening is expected to feature other artists cut from the same noisy, experimental cloth. Exchange, long known for hosting underground punk and experimental acts, is the ideal setting for PISS’s high-intensity, immersive style.
Why It Matters
A rare UK appearance: PISS are touring internationally in 2025, and Bristol is one of a select few cities to host them.
Music as performance: Their shows go far beyond standard punk chaos, engaging the audience through multimedia, theatrical intensity, and charged lyricism.
Fuel for the local scene: Appearances like this don’t just entertain—they can inspire the city’s own underground communities and open the door for bolder bookings in the future.
For Gig-Goers
Those planning to attend should arrive early to secure a good spot and soak up the full impact of the performance. Expect noise, urgency, and unpredictability—hallmarks of what makes a PISS show unforgettable. Merch tables and bar sales will help support both the band and the grassroots venue, keeping Bristol’s live music culture alive.
On 14 October, Bristol will host not just a concert, but a collision of sound, art, and resistance. For anyone seeking music that confronts as much as it entertains, PISS at Exchange is unmissable.
