Pissed Jeans – “The Bar Is Low”
We last heard from Pissed Jeans, Philadelphia’s finest purveyors of damaged and terrifying noise-punk, when they released the beautifully ugly 2013 album Honeys. And today, they’ve announced that they’ll follow it up next year with a new LP called Why Love Now. Punk rock legend Lydia Lunch co-produced the album alongside Philly metal veteran Arthur Rizk. And the band has led things off with the single “The Bar Is Low,” a guttural riff-monster about how just about every man walking the face of the earth today is an asshole. In a press release, frontman Matt Korvette says it’s “about how every guy seems to be revealing themselves as a shithead. It seems like every guy is getting outed, across every board of entertainment and politics and music. There’s no guy that isn’t a total creep.” Below, listen to “The Bar Is Low” and check out the album’s tracklist.
